Elon Musk practically confirmed that SpaceX will soon go public. He also admitted that he regrets his role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
When space journalist Eric Berger published his analysis titled 'Here’s why I think SpaceX will soon become a public company', Musk replied: 'As always, Eric is right.' Many in the industry consider Berger to be the most credible reporter writing about SpaceX.
In a podcast with former DOGE spokesperson Katie Miller, Musk said he will no longer participate in DOGE activities. He explained: "I think instead of DOGE, I would just focus on my companies. And they wouldn't be burning cars then" — referring to instances of devastation in Tesla showrooms during his time in government.
Musk called DOGE "somewhat successful" and "to some extent successful" — this is a very reserved assessment. He severed ties with President Trump in June after calling the tax law of this administration "completely crazy and destructive."
The simultaneous confirmation of the IPO and regret over DOGE show that Musk is returning to his business empire after a turbulent period in politics.
