Elon Musk has just confirmed that SpaceX will soon go public, while also expressing regret about his leadership Vai at the Department for Government Efficiency Enhancement (Doge).
When space journalist Eric Berger published an analysis titled "Why I think SpaceX will soon go public," Musk responded: "As always, Eric is spot on." Berger is considered one of the most reliable reporters when covering SpaceX.
In a podcast interview released Tuesday with former Doge spokesperson Katie Miller, Musk said he would no longer be involved with Doge . “I think instead of working for Doge, I should probably focus on developing my own companies,” he said. “That way, the arson attacks wouldn’t have happened”—referring to the vandalism of Tesla dealerships during his time in government.
Musk described Doge as only "somewhat successful" and "somewhat successful," a rather modest assessment. In June 2024, he publicly disagreed with President Trump after criticizing the administration's tax bill as "absolutely insane and damaging."
The fact that Musk has both confirmed the upcoming IPO of SpaceX and Chia regret over Doge suggests he is returning to focus on business after a long period of being embroiled in political issues.
