According to Kuai Technology on February 22, Musk frequently used thunder methods after taking over the power, and recently, he set his sights on the US Traffic Administration.

According to the Washington Post on the 21st, a small government team in the United States that regulates self-driving cars will be laid off nearly half of its employees by the US DOGE service department led by Musk.

The layoff is part of the overall layoff program of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which aims to ensure the safety of U.S. roads.

NHTSA will lay off about 70 to 80 employees in its overall plan to lay off 10% of its employees, some of which are fired on probation and the other through a buyout agreement, three people familiar with the matter said.

The layoffs involved several NHTSA safety programs, including the automotive crash testing team (engineers engaged in safety dummy development were laid off), federal and state government safety collaboration groups (employees responsible for managing road safety funds)) and driving behavior research team (professional personnel who study dangerous driving psychology such as drunk driving and speeding).

DOGE's cut strategy also affected a newly established office dedicated to overseeing the safety of self-driving cars, which fired three of them from about seven staff members.

A fired engineer said many colleagues have struggled to adapt to this identity shift, and internal employees are concerned that it will lead to a decline in scrutiny of autonomous vehicles, delayed advancement of new vehicle safety testing standards and a lack of regulatory oversight of state safety fund allocations.
