Recently, Elon Musk told reporters in the Oval Office that the Trump administration wants to “delete entire agencies.” Newsmax reports:
Elon Musk called Thursday to “delete entire agencies” from the United States’ federal government as part of his push under President Donald Trump to radically cut spending and restructure its priorities.
Musk offered a wide-ranging survey via a videocall to the World Governments Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, of what he described as the priorities of the Trump administration interspersed with multiple references to “thermonuclear warfare” and the possible dangers of artificial intelligence.
“We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people — democracy,” Musk said, wearing a black T-shirt that read: “Tech Support.” He also joked that he was the “White House’s tech support,” borrowing from his profile on the social platform X, which he owns.
“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.”
On X.com, Sen. Mike Lee posted that he’d like to see the United States stick to the original intentions of the founders. He wrote, “The U.S. government should stick to national defense, coining money, border security, regulating interstate & foreign trade, and the few other things specified in the Constitution It does bad things when it doesn’t stick to its enumerated powers.”
