Elon Musk calls for U.S. government to 'delete entire agencies'

Elon Musk called Thursday to “delete entire agencies” from the United States' federal government as part of his push under President Donald Trump to radically cut spending and restructure its priorities. AI is re-shaping our quality, economy and society: PM Modi “I think we do need to delete entire agencies as opposed to leave a lot of them behind,” Mr. Musk said. “A lot of attention has been on USAID for example,” Mr. Musk said, referring to Mr. Trump's dismantling of the US Agency for International Development. “If hypothetically, AI is designed for DEI, you know, diversity at all costs, it could decide that there's too many men in power and execute them,” Mr. Musk said. On AI, Mr. Musk said he believed X's newly updated AI chatbot, Grok 3, would be ready in about two weeks, calling it at one point “kind of scary.” He criticized Sam Altman's management of OpenAI, which Mr. 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.” Mr. Musk also announced plans for a “Dubai Loop” project in line with his work in the Boring Company — which is digging tunnels in Las Vegas to speed transit.
