Mark Zuckerberg offered to 'help' Elon Musk with DOGE in 2025
Text messages published in court documents reveal that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered to assist Elon Musk with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in early 2025. The exchange also included discussions about potentially bidding on OpenAI's intellectual property. Musk's lawyers have argued that these personal communications are irrelevant to his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI.
