🚨ELON MUSK ON REDUCTION OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING: "The idea of DOGE is pretty simple. We have a suffocating massive bureaucracy and government spending is bankrupting the country. Our interest payments on national debt now exceed our national defense budget. The defense budget is a trillion dollars a year. We're on a path to bankruptcy. We have to cut government spending or we're going to go bankrupt just like a person would. I asked the AI how many government agencies there are and they don't even know. Somewhere around 450 at the Federal level. That's almost twice as many agencies as years that America has existed. This is insane. There's not even one person who can name every agency at the Federal level. Eventually it will get to the point where everything is illegal and nothing can get done. We can curtail the agencies to be much smaller and stick to just what congress authorizes rather than bloat. Something is wrong if we can build a SpaceX rocket faster than they can approve paperwork. In the past what has served as a cleansing function for regulation is war. we haven't had war, we've had prosperity. We need a way to cleanse regulation without war. You don't want zero referees in a game, but you don't want more referees than players.
