In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Elon Musk discussed a variety of topics but provided little new information about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk touched on issues such as waste and fraud, private aerospace technology, Trump’s Cabinet, and a fringe theory about gold being stolen from Fort Knox. He also mentioned the efforts of DOGE to create chaos at government agencies, but offered few details about their operations.
Despite Musk’s high profile and involvement in the U.S. government, questions remain about DOGE’s activities. Musk stated that DOGE employees undergo the same vetting process as federal employees and that their recommended cuts are not mandatory. However, the total number of DOGE employees and their clearance levels remain undisclosed. Additionally, DOGE has faced criticism for its staffing choices, including young members as young as 19.
Musk also made claims about fraud without providing concrete evidence, including alleged issues with Social Security and FEMA spending on migrants. He defended his controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration celebration as being misinterpreted by the media. Musk’s interview did little to clarify the operations of DOGE, leaving many unanswered questions about the department’s activities.
