Not entirely surprising. Musk doesn't want anyone looking into his businesses. Every public agency that DOGE has shut down so far had an active investigation into Musk or one of his businesses.

> the government has been actively pushing their ideology down the throat of companies too
can you provide some details here on what you mean. The phrase "pushing their ideology down the throat" does not exactly scream "non-partisan thought process" to me, but I'm always open to learning and listening.
> but I'm always open to learning and listening.
I appreciate that.
The Twitter files are one example I was thinking off. A quote from Wikipedia [1]:
> Stanford University's "Virality Project", in cooperation with several nonprofits, "worked with social media platforms to flag and suppress commentary on COVID vaccines, science, and policy that contradicted public health officials' stances, even when that commentary was true."
Put differently, this means that the government "flag and suppress"ed information even when it was true. Imagine being banned from Twitter by the government when saying something that is true. How can scientists, for example, do their job when that's the case? And I don't think we should accept this from the government because it's not the governments job to decide what we should or should not hear. Especially if the government overrules facts if they do not correspond to stances from the health officials.

There is a big difference between shutting down questionable funding that push an ideology, and shutting down whole agencies because they have an active investigation against you personally.
