Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The US Government has to “delete the entire agencies” in the cost of costs and efficiency, said Thursday, founder Tech billionaire and Tesla Elon Musk, when asked if the changes he was performing as part of Donald Trump’s administration Behind the term of the current president.
“I think we need to delete the whole agencies, unlike the part of them to leave behind them … It’s kind of like leaving weeds,” Musk said. “If you do not remove the roots of weeds, then the weeds are easy to grow. But if you remove the roots of weeds – it does not prevent the weeds from ever returning, but it makes it difficult.”
Musk, who also founded Spacex and possessed the Social Media Sacrificial Media platform, commented on, while via video connection with the audience on the annual meeting of the Dubai World Government, as part of the interview led by United Arab Emirates Minister Omar Sultan Al Olam.
“So, we have to really delete the whole agencies, many of them,” Musk continued. “And that does not mean that there will be no increase in the time of bureaucracy in some new administration, but it will be from much lower basic value. So this is certainly a step in the right direction.”
“Nothing is forever,” he added, “but I think we can significantly strengthen the foundations of the United States.”
Trump has appointed an engineer born in South Africa and a technological entrepreneur as a “special government employee” and head of the new Government Efficiency Department (Doge) under the management. Musk was loud in terms of its goals to improve the effectiveness of the Government and reduce bureaucracy and regulations, and on Thursday he said that such efforts could be reduced by a federal deficit of $ 1 trillion by 2026.
Musk has already taken an ax to USAID, the international humanitarian and development of the US government, basically winning most of its staff and freezing its funding, sudden changes affect millions of people around the world, especially in poorer countries.
Trump’s administration said in early February that USAID would close as an independent agency and move under a state department.
