While DOGE inflates its monetary impact, Tesla heads for a crash. And Twitter has lost most of its value. Is Musk just bad at business?

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is running a playbook that is strikingly similar to his takeover of X, formerly Twitter, in San Francisco.

Officials with the Office of Personnel Management confirmed that the request by the Department of Government Efficiency was emailed to all federal agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency.

When Musk took over Twitter, he launched a payroll audit to root out dead workers getting paid. Now, Musk is launching the same campaign across the federal government.

Mr. Musk uses online slang to marshal his 200 million social media followers in support of his efforts to gut the federal government. But he might be reaching his limits.

The Senate has stripped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s power to monitor digital payment offerings. That could clear the way for Elon Musk's Twitter/X to broaden its payments plan. The proposal still needs to pass the House, but two senators are calling for an ethics investigation into Musk’s role in the change.
