- Steve Wozniak said Doge’s mass shots are a bad commercial tactic.
- Wozniak said Doge should tackle more surgically, with a scalpel instead of a hammer.
- Thousands of federal workers have been dismissed in recent weeks, while Doge has increased cost reduction efforts.
Steve Wozniak, the co -founder of Apple, is not a fan of the way Doge attacks costs in the federal government.
Wozniak said that even if he supports the search for ineffectiveness, he does not think that Elon Musk and Doge’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce is the right approach.
“Mass shooting-not good for a business to take place in this way,” he said in a conversation with CNBC on Wednesday. The co-founder of Apple advised the group to be more strategic, saying that Doge should act “more surgically, with a scalpel instead of a hammer”.
Federal agencies have dismissed thousands of employees in recent weeks and have offered contradictory tips on layoffs.
The co -founder of Apple is not externally political – he told CNBC that he had decided not to vote at the age of 18 – but signed his name to a list of business leaders supporting the former vice -president Kamala Harris during the elections.
Voting the file apart, Wozniak said he was “on the wrong side of Elon” after criticizing Tesla in the past. The White House said on several occasions that Musk was not officially running Doge, although Trump declared Tuesday evening in a speech that the group “is led by Elon Musk”, and many considered it the functional leader.
Trump’s comment was reported as part of an existing trial against Doge shortly after the end of the speech.
Wozniak is not the only business personality to have criticized DOGE – the million entrepreneur Mark Cuban wrote on the group on Bluesky, a social media site that competes with Musk X. Cuban said that Doge “will inevitably create” create a mess in an article and called its “not so bright” efforts. Some management experts have had words of choice for the first Tactics of Doge, saying before that the group has been “clumsy” and “unhappy” so far.
The representatives of the White House, Doge and Wozniak did not respond to the request for BI comments.
