Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team recently eliminated jobs from the same agency that is investigating crashes related to Tesla’s autonomous and remote features.

According to multiple reports, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration laid off 4% of its employees following direction from the Department of Government Efficiency. The agency called the job cuts “modest,” saying that the department remains “considerably larger” than it was four years ago.

NHTSA reiterated that the action will not affect the agency’s investigations into Tesla, which is owned and directed by Musk.

“We have retained positions critical to the mission of saving lives, preventing injuries and reducing economic costs due to road traffic crashes,” NHTSA said in a statement. “We will continue to enforce the law on all manufacturers of motor vehicles and equipment, in accordance with the Vehicle Safety Act and our data-driven, risk-based investigative process.”
