According to Odaily, Elon Musk called for the elimination of numerous U.S. federal agencies during a speech at the World Government Summit in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday. Since taking on the role of Minister of Government Efficiency with the backing of U.S. President Donald Trump, Musk has strengthened his influence over many government departments.
During his address, Musk, wearing a black T-shirt with the words 'Tech Support,' humorously referred to himself as the 'tech support of the White House.' He questioned the necessity of having 450 agencies to govern a country, suggesting that 99 might be more appropriate. Musk emphasized the need to remove entire agencies rather than leaving many intact, warning that failing to do so would allow inefficiencies to resurface easily.
