What he said about regulation in the EU is so outrageous that this is the EU Commission's plan for the next 5 years:

"we will radically lighten the regulatory load for people, businesses and administrations in the EU. To boost prosperity and resilience, the Commission will propose unprecedented simplification to unleash opportunities, innovation and growth." [1] (Published this very morning!)

Hmm... DOGEU?

I doubt that includes no longer wanting to look into X and election interference, which Musk probably counts as one of those more pesky regulations, while with the other side of his mouth talking about transparency. No, DOGE would be more like, say, pointing at the title of a project from 20 years ago and go "woke! I don't know what this is! far leftist! wasteful!" while persecuting anyone who looked into fishy things about Tesla and SpaceX, kinda like Trump fired FBI agents who investigated Jan 6th.

We don't do that here. That's banana republic stuff. If private security barred politicians while some script kiddies rifle just copy private records, while some dude talked about getting rid of the Department of Education, there'd be a whole other state of emergency in most countries in Europe, certainly in Germany.
