Elon Musk was wearing a black T-shirt with the word “tech support” in the middle, in her latest address for global business leaders.
The T-shirt probably nodded to the previous bio of Musk in X, where he described himself as “White House technical support.”
Musk, who leads the government’s Efficiency Bureau (Doge), spoke via video link at Dubai’s annual World Government Summit on Thursday.
Doge has helped President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut government spending.
In his speech, Musk said the US needs to remove the entire federal agency.
“I think we need to delete the entire agency rather than delete the entire agency,” he said.
“It’s like leaving behind weeds,” Musk added. “If we don’t remove the weed roots, the weeds will come back and it’s easy.”
Musk’s speech comes amid concerns about Doge’s access to financial systems that include sensitive information about millions of Americans.
Musk showed little indication that he wanted to slow down.
He told the audience that reducing government spending has “surprising” effects.
“If the deficit decreases by 2 trillion to 1 trillion, you’ll end up with 1 trillion less debt, and of course interest rates will drop significantly. That means people’s mortgage payments, car payments, credit cards Payments, student loans – whatever debt they have – their debts will be less,” he said.
Musk, who founded SpaceX and owns social media platform X, said the US could be considered a “big company” and compared it to Twitter, which renamed X after buying it for $44 billion in 2022. I did.
“In the case of Twitter, we reduced staff by 80%, but at the same time we’ve dramatically improved the functionality and functionality of the site,” he said.
Regarding the US, Musk said: “It’s like a corporate shift, but it’s much larger.”
