The billionaire boss of Tesla and SpaceX gave his reflections during a nearly-hour long interview on The Katie Miller Podcast on Tuesday. Musk left Doge in May after initially promising to save as much as $2tn (£1.5tn) a year by slashing federal jobs and shuttering government programmes, among other cost-cutting measures. But Musk said he believed Doge had been "a little bit successful, we were somewhat successful". Musk told Miller that Doge, which was created by an executive order on Trump's first day back in the White House, was a "made-up" name "based on internet suggestions". Reuters Musk spoke to podcast host Katie Miller, a former Trump adviser herself who is also married to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller
