From the article:

"As for Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX chief who briefly ran Trump’s controversial government-slashing group known as DOGE, Wiles accused him of being “an avowed ketamine [user]” and “an odd, odd duck, as I think geniuses are.”

She said that she “was initially aghast” when DOGE moved to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development, which Musk has claimed was rife with fraud.

“I think anybody that pays attention to government and has ever paid attention to USAID believed, as I did, that they do very good work,” she said.

“Elon’s attitude is you have to get it done fast. If you’re an incrementalist, you just won’t get your rocket to the moon,” Wiles said. “And so with that attitude, you’re going to break some china. But no rational person could think the USAID process was a good one. Nobody.”
