The article reveals concerns over Elon Musk's influence on government operations following his cost-cutting measures through DOGE, allegedly benefiting his companies. During a press conference, Musk downplayed any conflicts of interest, despite reports indicating that government employees overseeing his businesses—like the FDA inspectors investigating Neuralink—have been dismissed. This comes amid a wider trend of purges led by Trump, suggesting a severe lack of oversight on regulatory bodies, ultimately increasing scrutiny of Musk’s companies and their practices in both animal testing and consumer safety.
In an unnerving press conference last Tuesday, Elon Musk assured skeptical reporters that his DOGE government cost-cutting efforts had nothing to do with his private business interests.
In reality, though, it's clear that Musk is shamelessly firing government workers who'd been trying to hold his many companies to account.
