I found an area DOGE could focus on:

Musk, the world’s richest man, streamed himself playing Path of Exile 2 on his private jet over the weekend in an attempt to show off Starlink’s in-flight WiFi.
For about 90 minutes, he sat mostly in silence as his on-screen character kept dying, despite his claim to be one of the best players of the game in the world.
This is hilarious, he thinks he's a real tough guy when he stands next to the orange buffoon, gleefully boasting about sending vital agencies like USAID "into the woodchipper", yet in the court of public opinion he finds out that, well, he isn't even half as loved by everyone as he thinks he is 😃
Are the Germans done with him? (Deutsche Welle insight in English).

DOGE is woefully behind even that target. As the New York Times reports, Musk told president Donald Trump this week that DOGE anticipated "savings in '26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion," referring to the fiscal year that runs from October 2025 to the end of September 2026. (It's even unclear if Musk meant that the so-called department had saved $150 billion so far, or if that was how much he's now predicting it would save in total.)
Well, he keeps on downsizing (or lying) about all the money he's (supposedly) saved the US Government, so maybe they'll be finished with him soon too?
Remember, he came roaring in, jumping up and down all giddy with excitement about "$2 trillion in savings", but he's not even close to it.
kingdragonfly: Elon Musk
"You get paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of problems you solve." or create
"If you make bad decisions, you are going to get bad results."
Problem is Musk puts himself as more worthy than anyone and undervalued.
Yet he did not dive 1cm of a deadly cave system to save children from certain death.
The expensive and risky flight diversions caused twice by his rockets, did he compensate for his bad results ?
So when you need a Plumber to go up to their armpits in shite to solve your immediate urgent problem ?
Or a Gassfitter who has the safety of you family in their hands as we saw with house deconstruction in Christchurch not so long ago.
How does that rate compared with a Hedge Fund Manager who can't change a tap washer ?
Is this interview a good idea for her business?
So she is really an insurance broker?
Marketing should be projecting good judgement and trust above all?
Given its a mobile billboard, it necessarily impacts on the reputation of her business.
Which was the point of this vehicle that's not that practical.
Elon always controversial, Cybertruck more so, now Elon caring little for his customers.
Oh yeah and there is that 1 year 'no sell' contract when you buy one.
Businesses have stuff happen all the time, a major customer goes bankrupt, regulatory changes.
Its not fair, but you have to move quickly to staunch the losses, learn and move on.
Buy/Lease a vehicle that says something sensible about your business immediately.
Given how escape proof it is in an accident, maybe it saves your life.
Or at least a finger or two, and having to tell people you were not once in the Yakuza :-)
What a surprise, that stupid, childish "5 things you have done" e-mail nonsense is basically being forgotten about, as Elon is (supposedly) getting ready to finish his time at the White House.
Maybe this story will remind him of it and he'll send out a "follow-up" e-mail 🙄
It is unclear precisely when Musk will leave the Government; his status as a special Government employee is expected to expire at the end of May. The billionaire is ready to exit because he is tired of fielding what he views as a slew of nasty and unethical attacks from the political left, according to a person familiar with his thinking.
Aw, poor diddums 😀 thin-skinned much?
(I wager it's not just the left having a go at him, either).
A less polite assessment:
