Elon Musk said in a wide-ranging podcast interview on Dec. 9 that he believes the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was “somewhat successful” in its mission to reduce wasteful federal spending, that the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) gives him recurring nightmares, and that “the Creator” is who he looks up to the most.
Musk, who led DOGE until May, said on “The Katie Miller Podcast” that the initiative succeeded in curbing improper payments and blocking billions in questionable federal disbursements.
