He added Boeing was "not going continue to build aircraft for customers who will not take them".
David Ditch, a senior analyst at the Economic Policy Innovation Center, a conservative think tank, insists Doge's work is necessary:"They're shining a very bright spotlight on various parts of the federal government and they're asking - whether it's the American public, whether it's moderate members of the Republican caucus - is this how you want America's tax dollars to be used?"
But even some of those who support Doge's work appear to dislike Musk himself.In February, Pew Research found that 54% of Americans had an unfavourable view of him, including 37% who said their view was "very unfavourable".Political opponents and government watchdogs have criticised Doge for acting without transparency and spreading misinformation about government spending - and accuse Musk of overstepping his authority as an unelected official.
They highlight potential conflicts of interest, given Musk's businesses hold contracts with the US government worth billions. Trump and Musk deny that any conflicts have arisen.Democrats accuse them of tampering with funding approved by Congress that is outside the president's scope. The White House denies that the work has broken any laws.
Multiple groups including unions and state attorneys general have sued Doge and the wider Trump administration over their plans.
On several occasions the courts have stepped in to halt the cost-cutting moves, at least once blocking Doge directly when a judge stopping the agency from accessing personal data held within US Treasury records.Meanwhile, the males, which are six to seven times more toxic than the females, are used for the antivenom programme and milked every two weeks, Emma explains.
The pipette she uses to remove the venom from the fangs is attached to a suction hose - crucial for collecting as much venom as possible, since each spider provides only small amounts.While a few drops is enough to kill, scientists need to milk 200 of these spiders to have enough to fill one vial of antivenom.
A marine biologist by training, Emma never expected to spend her days milking spiders. In fact, she started off working with seals.But now she wouldn't have it any other way. Emma loves all things arachnid, and goes under various nicknames - spider girl, spider mama, even "weirdo", as her daughter calls her.
