Barcelona – Apple Co -founder Steve Wozniak criticized the “Small” approach, which is the Elon Musk government’s efficiency department to reduce administrative costs and introduce mass firing in the federal state bodies.
The Department of Government Efficiency – or “DOGE” is the initiative President Donald Trump, created to optimize the federal government and reduce administrative costs.
“I certainly believe that we should seek ineffectiveness in the government, but largely there is a huge department that analyzes gradually,” Woznik CNBC said on the sidelines of the technical conference on Tuesday.
But he added: “Just mass firing … It’s not good for business to lead this way,” citing deep doge cuts in several government agencies.
He noted that although the appeal to administrative loads and red tape could be a good thing, it is a process that should be done “more surgically, with a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.”
“Bullying”
Wozniak also accused Trump and Musk of “bullying” of the treatment of Ukrainian Ukrainian Iron and mass shelling of the Department of Government in federal state bodies.
“Elon Musk, I don’t know what got into his head,” Wozniak added. “Sometimes you become so rich in these major companies, and you are on top – it’s goes to your mind, and you are the most incredible person in the world and the brightest and you are going to dictate what others will do.”
CNBC turned to the White House and in Tesla for comments.
Wozniak, who says he has a Ukrainian heritage, said that Trump and Musk were brutally treated with Ukraine and accused them of both bullies.
“Bullying is the best way to think about it,” he said CNBC. “If you are at school, the bully will break into the little guy.”
He noted: “I always preferred a little guy over a great guy, and I always preferred the consumer of good over the producer,” he added, in the obvious benchmark of the Musk Tesla electric firm.
American relations with Ukraine sour since Trump has taken office. US officials have resumed relations with their Russian counterparts, but it expelled Ukraine from previous negotiations that set the basis for peace. The tension between Washington and Kiev has recently escalated after the President of Ukrainian Valodimir Zelensky called Trump as “life in a Russian misinformation bubble”.
Then Trump struck back, calling Ukraine’s leader “dictator without elections.” Zelensky won the 2019 President’s vote, Ukraine, which has not been able to hold national polling stations since its invasion.
“On the wrong side of Elon”
Wozniak said he also suspects he was banned from X, a social media platform that was previously known as Twitter after several public people about Tesla’s quality vehicles in television interviews. Musk is the owner of X.
Apple’s co-founder said he did not violate any of the rules of the social media platform and unsuccessfully made every step to thaw his account, which he said has been blocked over the last two or three months.
“Perhaps this is because I was on the wrong side of Elon,” he added.
X was immediately available for comments when referred to CNBC.
Wozniak owns several Teslas, but says he is not a fan of how electric musclass developed over time.
“Every step, when they changed things in the car, was getting worse and worse, and now it’s just unhappy for the user interface,” he said. “Based on Apple, the user interface, as you are engaged in technology, is the most important thing in the world. And Tesla is the worst in this world.”
Wozniak added that he does not like full Tesla self -management or autopilot helping with -woring system security.
Tesla did not immediately return CNBC request to comment on the criticism of the company.
