DOGE employee departure: Musk had concerns during the internal meeting, and after he leaves, DOGE may fall into stagnation.

On May 30, former government efficiency department (DOGE) employee Sahil Lavi told Reuters after leaving, "The core appeal of this project is Elon Musk himself." He expects DOGE employees to "gradually stop showing up for work, just like kids joining a startup that will go under in four months." Lavi also recalled in the interview that his only meeting with Musk was during a company-wide meeting in March, where he suggested open sourcing part of the code and live-streaming the meeting. "Musk initially agreed to the live stream, but then backtracked saying 'it might need to be pre-recorded due to safety risks,' but ultimately there was no further discussion." Lavi was fired from DOGE in early May after giving an interview to Fast Company. (Jin10)
