(Worthy News) – Elon Musk urged the US to eliminate entire federal agencies to cut spending and reorganize priorities, criticizing the current government as a “rule of bureaucracy” rather than a democracy.
In a video call during the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Elon Musk discussed the Trump administration’s objectives to minimize and ultimately eradicate waste within the federal government. He advocated for the elimination of certain federal agencies, though he did not specify which ones.
“We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people — democracy,” Musk said.
Musk advocated his call to eliminate certain federal agencies, stating, “I think we do need to delete entire agencies as opposed to leave a lot of them behind,” Musk said. “If we don’t remove the roots of the weed, then it’s easy for the weed to grow back.”
Elon Musk criticized the effectiveness of U.S. agencies like USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy, questioning their recent achievements in promoting democracy. He noted that under Trump’s leadership, the U.S. has shown less interest in intervening in other countries’ affairs.
