Former DOGE Employee Voices Concerns Over Project’s Future and Musk’s Influence

In an intriguing revelation, former Government Efficiency Department employee Sahil Lavi shared insights about the DOGE project with Reuters on May 30th. Lavi cited the allure of the project as primarily stemming from Elon Musk himself, emphasizing the potential decline in employee morale as the initiative faces mounting challenges. He likened the situation to that of “children in a startup destined for collapse.” Lavi recounted a March meeting with Musk where he proposed the idea of open-sourcing certain code components and conducting a live discussion to enhance transparency. While Musk initially appeared receptive, he later expressed concerns about security, suggesting a pre-recorded format. Ultimately, these discussions bore little fruit. Following his interview with Fast Company, Lavi’s association with DOGE tragically came to an abrupt end, raising further questions about the project’s future in the volatile crypto market.
