Elon Musk says DOGE involvement is making it harder to run his businesses

In an interview with Fox’s Larry Kudlow on Monday, billionaire Elon Musk admitted that his involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Donald Trump’s initiative to reduce federal spending, is making it tougher to run his many businesses: X, Tesla, xAI, SpaceX, The Boring Company, and Starlink. While Musk complains that his work advising DOGE has stretched him thin, the billionaire has been accused of using the initiative to weaken regulations that oversee his business ventures. DOGE has gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was poised to expand oversight of peer-to-peer payment systems including X’s upcoming virtual wallet product.
