Elon Musk expressed frustration about the unfair treatment of his cost-cutting initiative DOGE, stating it became scapegoated for issues that it did not cause. In a CBS interview, he highlighted how DOGE was blamed for government cutbacks, which misguidedly led the public to associate it with threats to social programs like Social Security. Musk emphasized his belief in smaller government during his leadership at DOGE, which sparked protests against his other venture, Tesla, due to the layoffs and spending cuts proposed.
Musk said DOGE became the 'whipping boy for everything,' facing unfair backlash from critics who believed it was responsible for broad cuts to social programs.
During his tenure, DOGE attempted aggressive cuts, sparking protests and boycotts against Tesla, which alarmed investors urging Musk to focus on the electric vehicle company.
