Elon Musk calls for US government to 'delete entire agencies'
Briefly

During a recent video call at the World Governments Summit, Elon Musk advocated for the deletion of entire U.S. government agencies to streamline operations and emphasize democratic rule over bureaucratic power. He expressed concern about governmental inefficiencies and the potential dangers posed by artificial intelligence and thermonuclear threats. Musk's comments reflect a more isolationist stance on U.S. involvement in global issues, particularly in the Middle East, and come amid his controversial appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency under President Trump, which has led to significant reshaping of government priorities.
"If we don't remove the roots of the weed, then it's easy for the weed to grow back," Musk said, emphasizing the need to delete entire agencies for governmental efficiency.
"We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people - democracy," Musk stated, underlining his view on current governmental structures.
