"Musk joined former Trump official Katie Miller, wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, on Tuesday for her podcast where the billionaire X owner opened up about his feelings on his work with the government. Musk was a major supporter of Trump's in the 2024 presidential election and he went on to work with the administration through DOGE for months, ending his time with the White House in May."
"Musk argued on Miller's podcast that DOGE was somewhat successful. We were a little bit successful. We were somewhat successful. I mean, we stopped a lot of funding for that really just made no sense, that was just entirely wasteful, he said. He went on to say that if he could go back in time he would prefer to simply work on his companies rather than jump so directly into politics."
Elon Musk said he would not rejoin DOGE and would prefer to focus on his companies rather than repeat his government role. He supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election and worked with the administration through DOGE for months, ending his time with the White House in May. He primarily recommended spending cuts and credited the effort with stopping a lot of entirely wasteful funding. The role generated significant backlash, including protesters burning and vandalizing Tesla vehicles, and it strained his relationship with Trump. Musk judged DOGE somewhat successful but regretted jumping so directly into politics.
