She is most angered by what she describes as Musk’s “hypocrisy” as he has slashed government services as a special adviser to President Donald Trump without acknowledging how he has relied on government largesse and policies to build his own empires.

Elon Musk suggested his cost-cutting government project DOGE should take a closer look at the Fed’s spending, especially the $2.5 billion it has spent to remodel its Washington D.C. headquarters. Musk’s comments come as he is set to “significantly” cut back his time at DOGE in part to focus on his EV company Tesla.

Elon Musk might soon be leaving Washington, but he says DOGE needs to be a long-term project. Musk insisted in a TV interview that the project to slash government spending and eliminate entire agencies ought to endure amid signs that he may soon step away from the effort and return to his struggling electric car company.

Elon Musk has called the Wall Street Journal report a "deliberately false article" and an "extremely bad breach of ethics."

Tesla Inc.’s board of directors took steps toward finding Chief Executive Elon Musk’s successor earlier this month, as the EV maker’s stock sank while Musk prioritized his DOGE efforts, according to a new report.
