Musk Calls For U.S. To “Delete Entire Agencies” From Federal Government

"If we don’t remove the roots of the weed, then it’s easy for the weed to grow back,” Musk said. 

Elon Musk is calling for the United States to “delete entire agencies” from the federal government.

The billionaire offered a wide-ranging survey via a video call to the World Government’s Summit in Dubai.

It consisted of what he described as the priorities of the Trump administration. It also included several 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, adding, “if we don’t remove the roots of the weed, then it’s easy for the weed to grow back.”
