ChainThink message, December 10, during an interview on The Katie Miller Podcast, Musk stated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has achieved only "a little bit" of success in saving taxpayers' money. If he could turn back time, he would not re-enter the DOGE office again, preferring instead to dedicate his time to advancing his own companies.

Musk also remarked, "I often feel like I'm dreaming—everything seemed incredibly unreal at the time."
