Former Chinese CDC Head Criticizes Elon Musk’s Handling of Research Funding

George Gao Fu, former head of China’s Center for Disease Control (CDC), has voiced strong criticism of Elon Musk’s approach to research funding through Dogecoin (DOGE). He argues that Musk’s cost-cutting efforts, which aim to reduce federal spending by reducing indirect funding in science research grants, are detrimental to scientific progress. Gao Fu claims that this treatment of scientific institutions resembles the practices of private companies rather than a government agency dedicated to fostering innovation.
