While we in India are still busy vilifying Infosys co-founder N.R. Narayana Murthy and Larsen & Toubro Chairman S.N. Subrahmanyan for advocating 70- and 90-hour workweeks, respectively, in the US, Elon Musk has left them far behind by claiming that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are working 120 hours a week.
DOGE is working 120 hours
“DOGE is working 120 hours a week. Our bureaucratic opponents optimistically work 40 hours a week. That is why they are losing so fast,” Musk said on X.
“They’re finding massive waste, fraud, and abuse of our tax dollars… in the first two weeks! Decades of grifting and stealing are coming to an end — finally! Thank you, DOGE,” the post said.
What is DOGE
DOGE, named after the memecoin Dogecoin, was one of the biggest election promises of US President Donald Trump. Musk had claimed that DOGE would be able to slash federal funding by $2 trillion by cutting down on wasteful expenditure and reducing regulations.

What Musk said
Musk said Monday in a post on X that the “only way to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money is to follow the payment flows and pause suspicious transactions for review.”
“Naturally, this causes those who have been aiding, abetting, and receiving fraudulent payments to become very upset. Too bad,” he added.
