Elon Musk said that the Department of Government Efficiency was "somewhat successful," but he would not return to the initiative again.

Speaking on "The Katie Miller Podcast," the SpaceX and Tesla CEO said the Department of Government Efficiency — known as DOGE — had only been a "little bit successful" in its goal to save taxpayers' money and reduce spending and regulations.

The controversial initiative, a brainchild of Musk, laid off thousands of government workers but failed to deliver on its promises to cut the federal budget. bit.ly/44RSGxD

The man Elon Musk fired from Twitter in a single day…
built a new AI powerhouse and made a huge comeback.
A job can be taken away — but not your vision.

Parag Agrawal — the IIT-Bombay and Stanford-educated tech leader — was appointed CEO of Twitter in November 2021, succeeding Jack Dorsey. But shortly after Elon Musk acquired Twitter (now X) in October 2022, Musk fired Parag within hours of taking control. 

Instead of fading away, Parag took a brave step forward.

He founded an AI startup called Parallel Web Systems in 2023 — a company that builds tools to help AI systems research the internet more like a human would. 

In just two years, Parag’s new venture has:

💡 Raised major funding (about $30M+) from top investors including Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, and Index Ventures. 
💡 Built AI technology used daily for millions of research tasks. 
💡 Positioned itself as a key enabler for the next generation of AI agents — the tools that will power tomorrow’s automated assistants and intelligent systems. 

Parag didn’t just bounce back — he redefined his path from tech executive to AI pioneer.

The lesson?
A job title can disappear.
But skills, ideas, and resilience never can.

Lose a role — gain a mission.
Lose a job — find your breakthrough.
