Musk has floated the idea of dissolving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is exploring new data broker authority under Director Rohit Chopra (see 2501070031). Yaccarino called Musk a “visionary” and said “there are no better two people” than him and Ramaswamy to lead DOGE.
She noted Meta CEO Mark Zuckeberg’s decision to follow X’s lead in ending its fact-checking program in favor of community-driven notes. Expect other countries to follow the example of DOGE, which will be a unifying force in the U.S., she said.
