FDA, Elon Musk and Neuralink
Exclusive-FDA Staff Reviewing Musk’s Neuralink Were Included in DOGE Employee Firings, Sources Say
U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.
In the latest Economist /YouGov poll, conducted February 23-25, respondents were asked whether they were concerned that Musk was using DOGE to benefit himself and his companies. Only 30 percent said they were not too concerned or not concerned at all, while nearly 6 in 10 Americans (57 percent) said they were somewhat or very concerned.
Elon Musk is vowing yet again to fire any federal workers who don’t respond to an email asking them to list five things they accomplished last week.
Musk caused alarm among federal employees over an email sent on Saturday requesting that employees summarize their work.
