Musk allies back a private-sector DOGE as ex-staffers launch Special

Special launched by former Department of Government Efficiency staff aims to acquire companies and reduce their costs through artificial intelligence. The firm plans to buy businesses directly and apply AI to cut expenses. Two former DOGE employees initiated the venture after criticizing the department's lack of results. The initiative targets operational efficiency in private firms. The move reflects a shift from public efficiency mandates to private-sector cost reduction tools.
