Elon Musk is shredding America’s government like he did Twitter
Live MintJust past midnight on February 3rd, Elon Musk appeared on X to explain what he is doing to the federal government. That followed a weekend in which the agency’s website went offline; its X feed was deleted; and workers from Mr Musk’s new government unit, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, reportedly tried to enter the agency and were initially stopped by senior staff from downloading classified data. The first hints of Mr Musk’s seriousness came on January 28th, when more than 2m federal employees were sent an email by the Office of Personnel Management, the closest thing the government has to a human-resources department. It had the subject line “fork in the road", the same as in the email sent to Twitter employees when Mr Musk took over there. Mr Musk suggested in a tweet that he has direct control, claiming that his team is “rapidly shutting down" government payments to contractors.
