This article insinuates Musk is setting up special protections for Tesla.

When in fact the NHTS is yet another bloated agency needing a chainsaw.

What clause in the US Constitution makes this a federal issue? Regulating autos is a state issue.

I get so tired of the ministry of propaganda putting out that DOGE is doing any hiring or firing. They review, make suggestions. Actual reductions are accomplished by the applicable departments. Idiots.

Once the darling of liberal America, now that he is full MAGA, Musk has lost that shine in the MSM.

Like Biden could do no wrong and Trump now can do no right, so will Musk reap the wrath of the our leftist MSM.

There are indeed areas where there will be conflict of interest. This is especially true when you consider all the areas where Musk’s myriad business interests intersect with government money or oversight.

There needs to be a way to have someone other than Musk run DOGE for such areas.

(I like DOGE and want to see it succeed, but I don’t trust The Elon one bit. Even if he’s well intentioned- which I don’t think is always the case - he has huge blind spots. Besides, NO ONE should be 100% trusted. )

So what. He also went after IRS. Last I checked, he paid taxes. So now that’s a COI and he can’t do that?

As in private industry, when cutbacks have to be made, those left will have to work harder and do more. Zero Effs Given.

But they didn’t mention thousands of charging stations are being removed in DC.

article 29 of the US constitution specifically says that the government should regulate the automobile business so that no one can afford a car.

Are the fools who wrote this article so dimwitted that they think TESLA is the only auto manufacturer that the NHTSA oversees? Or that just because they also oversee TESLA there is no waste…..no wait they should get a pass from DOGE just so it doesn’t look like Musk ha sa ulterior motive. Yeah that’s the ticket😒

The Federal government hired huge numbers of employees as a way to cover the unemployment mess caused by their poor policies; and to build voter support.

Democrats have been doing this for years at all levels of government.
DOGE is threatening the backbone of the Democrat party.

The next step should be to reverse Presidents Kennedy's executive order creating the government unions. Civil Service protections are adequate.
