Simply because Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk has taken a step again from the highlight doesn’t imply DOGE — the so-called “Division of Authorities Effectivity” — has stopped pushing its controversial tech agenda contained in the federal authorities.

Inner PowerPoint slides obtained by the Submit element what’s being known as the “DOGE AI Deregulation Determination Instrument,” which claims to have flagged 100,000 of 200,000 federal guidelines as ripe for deletion.

DOGE’s objective is to construct a “delete record,” chopping half of all federal rules by September 1.
