Musk Calls for Gov't Agency Cuts
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Elon Musk has advocated for "deleting entire agencies" from the US government. With the support of President Trump, Musk has expanded his control over federal departments since becoming the head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
At the World Governments Summit in Dubai, Musk emphasized the need to eradicate government agencies to prevent their re-emergence. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO quipped that he was the "White House's tech support," alluding to his social media profile.
Musk's proposal raises questions about the limits of presidential authority. He has been accused of sidelining career officials and accessing sensitive databases.
