Elon Musk claimed in his oval office on Tuesday that his so-called “Government Efficiency” (DOGE) was bulldozed through the federal government, providing maximum transparency. .
It was the first time he had ever asked a question from the news media since he arrived in Washington. He used his time standing next to Donald Trump on Resolute Desk to protect the aggressive cost-cutting measures pursued by the Doge team.
Masks are confidently providing evidence, and some USAID officials who are currently being hampered with full force are taking “kickbacks,” and “slight numbers of people” in the government have been “a thousands.” He claimed he was able to earn a net worth of as much as 1,000 million dollars. In that position.”
His most surprising claim was that the Doge team swept around 20 agents and was transparent about its activities, calling for the removal of career staff who had access to sensitive data systems in his way. I concentrated on.
“We’re actually trying to be as transparent as possible,” Musk said, referring to what Doge posted on X. I don’t know of cases where an organization is more transparent than a DOGE organization. ”
The reality is that Musk has started with his own involvement in the project and has had great pains to hide how Doge is run. Musk himself is a “special government employee,” and the White House says it means his financial disclosure application will not be made public.
The Doge team has around 40 staff involved, but the actual number is unknown. Staff tried to keep their identity private and refused to give last name to career staff at detailed institutions, the Guardian previously reported.
Musk also tried to prevent Doge staff from being identified. When the Wall Street Journal reported that one 25-year-old staff member Marco Elles had made racist posts on anonymous X accounts in recent months, Musk called for reporters to be fired.
Their identity is often not for the Musk’s part of transparency efforts, but because Doge staff must use official government emails and are often added to the employee’s directory. I objected.
Doge is reporting to Susie Wiles, technically the White House Chief of Staff. However, Musk is operating virtually on an unconfirmed force as it fundamentally reshapes the federal government, and some of his moves caught the White House to his surprise, and he is familiar with the matter. The person who did it said.
According to White House officials, Musk’s arrival was on the sidelines that Trump would sign a bystander related to a new executive order related to his bureaucratic cost-cutting initiative.
The billionaire sat down when Trump signed the executive order, wearing a black “dark magician” hat, accompanied by his young son named X. A boy of entertainment.
He was asked about the possible conflict of interest as a result of Musk’s furious agency. This suggested that he was investigating his company due to regulatory violations or contracting with his company, such as the Department of Defense.
“First of all, I’m not the one submitting a contract. Musk, founder, CEO, chief engineer and chairman of SpaceX, said:
Committed by reporters about the possibility that Doge is being cut too fast, too much, Musk reiterated the strategy he used to reduce costs for private companies, simply reverses the free measures. .
“Some of what I say is wrong and needs to be fixed. No one is going to hit 1,000,” Musk said. “We all make mistakes, but we act quickly to correct our mistakes.”
However, Musk was bristled by criticisms criticized by him or Doji and was overwhelmed by an injunction issued by a federal judge. Over the weekend, Musk promoted a series of posts, and the Treasury temporarily blocked access to Doge’s payment system, considering it would violate a court order.
