Elon Musk is now the head of DOGE , the Department of Government Efficiency .

He has been holed up in an old government building in Washington, DC , as he systematically dismantles parts of the federal government.

Musk believes he should be emperor of the world, and this is his way of showing people what he’s capable of as emperor, a close associate says.

Elon Musk's approach to what he’s doing now with the US government is modeled after what he did at Twitter .

Musk doesn’t just believe in efficiency, he believes in efficiency on a catastrophic scale.

The goal according to the person who has known Elon personally for years is to satiate his ego, partially to prove that the United States can run leaner.
