Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, stated on Monday that he suffers “indignities” on X, the social media platform he owns. His comment came via a post on the platform.
Musk’s remark follows his recent appointment by former U.S. President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This new role has exposed Musk to significant criticism. Democrats, specifically, have raised concerns about his influence and the legality of certain actions within the new department.
The appointment has caused debate. Critics have voiced concerns about possible conflicts of interest, because of Musk’s business holdings. They also question the wider effects of his government position.
“Infinite indignities on my own platform,” Musk posted on X, referencing the criticism. The comment highlights the ongoing challenges he is facing.
Officials from the DOGE have not yet responded to requests for comment. The response from the white house press secretary is still pending. Further details are still coming in.
