🚨MUSK ON REDUCTION OF GOVERNMENT:

"I want to start a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) where we take a look at all the Federal agencies and ask ourselves, do we really need 428 different agencies?"

"There are more Federal agencies than years we've had since the United States was founded. That means there has been more than 1 Federal agency created a year on average since this country was founded."

"We should be able to get away with 99 agencies, we should have fewer agencies and certainly none with overlapping responsibilities. We need a review to see which regulations are sensible."

"If you have regulators, they want to add more regulations, so we need a garbage collection function for regulations that don't make sense."

"If this happens, I'll need quite a bigger security team because someone might go postal on me."
