Summary

Elon Musk announced plans to double DOGE staff from 100 to 200 employees during a Fox Business interview on Monday.

He stated DOGE is working in “pretty much” all federal agencies despite growing opposition from courts, Democrats, and some Trump Cabinet members.

Musk repeated debunked claims about Social Security fraud and indicated he plans to stay in government another year, despite his temporary “special government employee” status limiting service to 130 days annually.

Meanwhile, Tesla shares have dropped 15%, and protests have targeted Musk-owned businesses. He also claimed, without evidence, that a cyberattack on X originated from Ukraine-based IP addresses.

    Right. How many people does it take to blanket fire people? I could write a batch file to do it with more skill.

      Just make sure that batch file runs from a public location by default, has admin privs, and is stored on a public file share 😎
