Elon Musk Calls For US Government To 'Delete Entire Agencies'

Elon Musk called for the US to "delete entire agencies" from the federal government as part of his push under President Donald Trump to radically cut spending and restructure its priorities. "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", he added. 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.
