Elon Musk’s DOGE is growing desperate for a “win” - Lemmy.World
Summary Elon Musk’s DOGE is facing mounting pressure to demonstrate achievements
amid widespread criticism. Staffers, under pressure from Trump administration
officials, seek public relations wins to counter negative headlines.
Cuts to federal offices led to mass layoffs, and efforts to modernize government
services have been chaotic.
Trump has distanced himself, stating agency chiefs, not Musk, control department
cuts, preferring a “scalpel” over a “hatchet” approach. Public opinion has
turned against DOGE, with 48% disapproving versus 34% approving, according to a
Washington Post-Ipsos poll. DOGE prioritizes speed over security, frustrating
federal employees. With limited time before their tenure ends, DOGE officials
are desperate to show results.
Like all his others companies.
- SpaceX has exploding star ships
- StarLink comes with so many ties, that alternatives are highly sought after
- Neural link might already be defunct, I don’t know
- His stake in OpenAI is too complicated to follow
- Tesla has 3 models you could buy, none of them is FSD yet, one is the Cyberstuck, no truck, no robots.
- Boring company was just fluff and BS, since a tunnel that’s only 1 lane wide is a safety nightmare and hyperloop is like the simpisons “monorail” Episode
Maybe at some point in his mid 50ties he should have focused on one thing.
You don’t have to pretend space x is bad to hate musk. Spacex has done massive leaps for space tech
Agreed, I despise Musk as much as any sane person now, but I’ve never understood the very prevalent behaviour of trashing everything everything about a person you don’t like. Just be honest, he actually has achieved a lot in a practical sense, whether you believe that was engineering or simply manipulation all the way up, the face is SpaceX have achieved feats nobody else has, and I don’t think it would have happened without Musk. None of that changes the fact he is now a cunt, but by being dishonest in criticism you actually weaken it.
