Elon Musk calls for the US to 'delete entire agencies' from federal government
Elon Musk called on Thursday for the United States to 맥스카지노delete entire agencies맥스카지노 from the 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 맥스카지노thermonuclear warfare맥스카지노 and the possible dangers of artificial intelligence.
맥스카지노We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people 맥스카지노 democracy,맥스카지노 Musk said, wearing a black T-shirt that read: 맥스카지노Tech Support.맥스카지노 He also joked that he was the 맥스카지노White House맥스카지노s tech support,맥스카지노 borrowing from his profile on the social platform X, which he owns.
맥스카지노I think we do need to delete entire agencies as opposed to leave a lot of them behind,맥스카지노 Musk said. 맥스카지노If we don맥스카지노t remove the roots of the weed, then it맥스카지노s easy for the weed to grow back.맥스카지노
While Musk has spoken to the summit in the past, his appearance on Thursday comes as he has consolidated control over large swaths of the government with Trump맥스카지노s blessing since assuming leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. That맥스카지노s included sidelining career officials, gaining access to sensitive databases and inviting a constitutional clash over the limits of presidential authority.
Musk's new role imbued his comments with more weight beyond being the world맥스카지노s wealthiest person through his investments in SpaceX and electric carmaker Tesla.
His remarks also offered a more-isolationist view of American power in the Middle East, where the U.S. has fought wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
맥스카지노A lot of attention has been on USAID for example,맥스카지노 Musk said, referring to Trump's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 맥스카지노There's like the National Endowment for Democracy. But I맥스카지노m like, 맥스카지노Okay, well, how much democracy have they achieved lately?맥스카지노맥스카지노
He added that the U.S. under Trump is 맥스카지노less interested in interfering with the affairs of other countries.맥스카지노
There are 맥스카지노times the United States has been kind of pushy in international affairs, which may resonate with some members of the audience,맥스카지노 Musk said, speaking to the crowd in the UAE, an autocratically ruled nation of seven sheikhdoms.
"Basically, America should mind its own business, rather than push for regime change all over the place,맥스카지노 he said.
He also noted the Trump administration's focus on eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion work, at one point linking it to AI.
맥스카지노If hypothetically, AI is designed for DEI, you know, diversity at all costs, it could decide that there맥스카지노s too many men in power and execute them,맥스카지노 Musk said.
On AI, Musk said he believed X's newly updated AI chatbot, Grok 3, would be ready in about two weeks, calling it at one point 맥스카지노kind of scary.맥스카지노
He criticized Sam Altman's management of OpenAI, which Musk just led a $97.4 billion takeover bid for, describing it as akin to a nonprofit aimed at saving the Amazon rainforest becoming a "lumber company that chops down the trees.맥스카지노 A court filing Wednesday on Musk's behalf in the OpenAI dispute said he'd withdraw his bid if the ChatGPT maker drops its plan to convert into a for-profit company.
Musk also announced plans for a 맥스카지노Dubai Loop맥스카지노 project in line with his work in the Boring Company 맥스카지노 which is digging tunnels in Las Vegas to speed transit.
A later statement from Dubai's crown prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, said the city-state and the Boring Company 맥스카지노will explore the development맥스카지노 of a 10.5-mile underground network with 11 stations that could transport over 20,000 passengers an hour. He offered no financial terms for the deal.
맥스카지노It맥스카지노s going to be like a wormhole," Musk promised. "You just wormhole from one part of the city 맥스카지노 boom 맥스카지노 and you're out in another part of the city.맥스카지노
