He's talking about his role as a special government employee, time limited to 130 working days. It's been 130 days since Trump took office and Musk took on this role. But he likely could have stayed longer. But politically, Musk is an avatar for the unpopular things Doge and the second Trump administration have done. He's taken a lot of heat.

As Congress is working on trying to pass Trump's big, beautiful bill and other legislative priorities, and we pivot to the midterms, there have been concerns by Republicans that Musk is not helpful.

Well, that's the other part of it. Musk runs multiple big businesses that have suffered because of his split attention and that unpopularity, especially Tesla. That's his main source of wealth. Tesla drivers sold their cars, stores were vandalized, profits cratered, and there were reports that the board was considering replacing him.

Well, Steve, that chainsaw doesn't really have any teeth. I mean, Musk had these lofty savings goals of cutting two trees. trillion from before joining the government to a fraction of that to around $150 billion, our reporting has found those claims are inaccurate, overstated, and rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of how the federal budget works.

Also, Doge's other signature efforts, like cutting the workforce, have hit repeated legal snags, driven in part by Musk's public statements that have been used to claim those changes broke the law. Put another way, there's little evidence that Elon Musk has done much to make the government more efficient.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, the knock is often an email from one of a few Doge staffers based in the General Services Administration. They're seeking to learn more about operations and to embed a team within the organization. Now, some of them have already been effectively dismantled by Doge, like the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
