At the same time, Trump said in the statement that Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's responsibility is to pave the way for dismantling government bureaucracies, cutting redundant regulations and wasteful spending, and restructuring federal agencies. DOGE will obtain advice and advice from outside the government. Guidance and collaboration with the White House and Office of Management and Budget to drive large-scale structural reforms and create an entrepreneurial government model never seen before. Musk plans to lay off 77% of his staff. Just recently, Musk also publicly stated the specific measures he hopes to take after taking office at DOGE. He said that he will significantly reduce the existing 428 federal agencies of the U.S. government to 99 and impose heavy restrictions on the government. Employees are undergoing large-scale layoffs, with the proportion as high as 77%. Musk explained: Most of the existing federal agencies are unfamiliar to the American people, and people cannot even understand the necessity of the existence of these agencies. This is ineffective operation methods and bureaucracy. In addition, Musk also mentioned the three major reform directions of his DOGE, including: eliminating government bureaucracy, improving work efficiency through layoffs, and placing higher demands on existing employees; cutting excessive regulation and wasteful expenditures ;Reorganization of federal agencies, including merging departments that perform similar work, will reduce the burden on taxpayers. Why does Musk hate civil servants? Two past examples may directly explain why Musk hates the current administrative machinery and employee efficiency of the US government.First, Musk complained bitterly in an interview with LexFridman in 2023, saying that one of the reasons why SpaceX’s Starship project was delayed was due to various regulatory obstacles, including requirements from the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). SpaceX investigates "whether a falling rocket will hit a shark in the sea." Musk believes that the ocean is vast and the chance of a rocket hitting a shark is almost zero, but SpaceX must provide data to prove that in order to conduct research, SpaceX asked the authorities for a shark's ocean distribution data, but the Marine Fisheries Service rejected the request, believing that the leakage of the data would lead to overfishing of sharks. SpaceX bit the bullet and completed the research report and submitted it. Afterwards, NMFS made another request. If the shark is fine, what is the probability that the rocket will hit a whale? It is not difficult to see why SpaceX will later use a "chopstick gripping station" to recover rockets. News photos of SpaceX's original seal experiment. There is another example where Musk encountered suppression by government agencies. When SpaceX planned to test launch, the California Environmental Protection Department They also came to our door, worried that "the sonic boom from rocket test launches will affect the hearing of seals and scare them away from their habitats." SpaceX could only form a research team to put on headphones for live seals to "hear" to see when the rocket exceeds the speed of sound. Whether sonic booms would affect their hearing; Musk criticized the US government at the time for "kidnapping seals and tying them to wooden boards to listen to the sound of sonic booms." Musk said more than once that there was low communication between US government agencies. Effective communication, as well as overly complicated supervision and lack of complete integration, allow private enterprises to understand in advance the regulatory needs they need to face, hindering technological innovation and enterprise progress. At the same time, this process will also consume a lot of financial, material and manpower. To this day, it is no surprise that Musk has proposed such a large-scale layoff plan and organizational reduction measures.
