Elon Musk's DOGE reportedly cuts staff at agency that regulates Elon Musk's Tesla
The Department of Government Efficiency, which is led by Elon Musk, has reportedly cut around 10 percent of staff from the NHTSA. Among other things, the agency works on the safety of autonomous vehicles, such as Tesla, which is led by Elon Musk.
The DOGE cull also impacted three people from a very small team that was working on the safety of autonomous vehicles, such as those from Alphabet’s Waymo, Amazon’s Zoox and — hey, look at that! It's probably just a coincidence that an organization headed by the same person who is CEO of a prominent company that's working on self-driving cars has cut federal employees that are evaluating the safety of such technology. Musk and President Donald Trump pledged in an interview this week that the former, who has been designated as a "special government employee," wouldn't be involved in decisions that would mark a conflict of interest with his businesses.
