In his post, Lavia describes the types of projects on which he worked at the VA, and his general impressions in working with Doge. Laveia described the DOG operations as “disorganized” and have only divided a few information in various teams.

This could change soon, since Musk has spent the last few weeks to say that he will largely leave his Doge duties behind. Two of his closest lieutenants, Steve Davis And Nicole Hollanderseem to be off. Davis, who has worked with Musk for years, among others at X and as CEO of the Boring Company, was an essential part of Daily Daily.

Without Davis at the top, says Lavia, it is unclear who will lead Doge – and in which direction.

“Steven was the only person who was more than anything,” says Lavia to Wired.

Musk, Davis and Hollander did not respond to Wired’s inquiries about comments.

Davis would regularly carry out Laveia to check how his work is going, but would rarely respond to Lavingia’s answers, he says.

According to Lieria, Davis was present at a meeting with Musk as a “E meeting” at the end of March. Many of the Doge workers he met at this meeting seemed to focus on the execution of tasks that Davis had assigned to them.

Two other muskalists, Anthony Armstrong and Baris Akis, were present at the “E meeting”. These three men – Armstrong, Akis and Davis – viewed people as those responsible, says Lavia.

“Steven is basically like a chief of staff or a Body Man, when Elon was there,” he says.
