Musk Says He Regrets Leading the DOGE Initiative
In a recent podcast with Katie Miller, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk spoke openly about his time leading President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE.
Musk said that the initiative managed to stop wasteful spending but admitted that the project came with heavy backlash both politically and personally. He claimed that Tesla faced vandalism and public protests during the effort.
The billionaire explained that he would not return to DOGE and said he wishes he had spent that time focusing on Tesla and SpaceX instead. Interestingly, Musk was heavily involved in Trump’s second term during the early days.
However, investors criticized because they felt he was distracted during a period of slowing Tesla sales, Musk added.
DOGE was disbanded eight months before its mandate ended. The agency claims tens of billions in savings with little publicly verifiable accounting.
SpaceX Pushes Ahead Toward Historic IPO Plans
SpaceX is pursuing a record-breaking initial public offering. According to Bloomberg, the company hopes to raise more than $30 billion in a listing that may arrive as soon as mid-to-late 2026.
SpaceX is targeting a valuation of around $1.5 trillion which places it near Saudi Aramco. On the other hand, recent insider share sales have already priced the company above $800 billion.
The bulk of SpaceX’s future revenue is expected to come from Starlink, which could generate between $22 billion and $24 billion in 2026. The company also plans to invest heavily in space-based data centers and direct-to-cell services powered by Starlink satellites.
Bloomberg noted that if SpaceX sells even 5% of its equity during the IPO, it would surpass all previous listings in size.
