In a recent podcast, Elon Musk revealed that audits by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered what he termed 'zombie payments' totaling between $100 billion and $200 billion annually. This initiative, which Musk briefly led during the Trump administration, aimed to cut wasteful government spending. Despite facing significant pushback, Musk claimed DOGE achieved some success in halting unnecessary funding. He expressed reluctance to repeat the experience, suggesting he would prefer to focus on his companies instead. The conversation also touched on immigration, where Musk criticized inadequate controls and linked it to economic pressures from automation. He emphasized the need for retraining programs as AI and robotics threaten job security. Musk shared his concerns about AI's impact on employment and discussed ongoing projects at xAI aimed at developing artificial general intelligence. He also highlighted SpaceX's ambitions for Mars colonization, framing it as crucial for humanity's future. The podcast, hosted by Katie Miller, quickly gained traction, amassing over a million views shortly after its release.
