Could Elon Musk Run the Government? Efficiency vs. Public Safety | 1x35

In this episode of *While We Were Distracted*, we explore the idea of Elon Musk potentially taking on a role in a future government administration. Known for shaking up industries with his relentless focus on efficiency, Musk’s approach has transformed companies like SpaceX and Tesla. But could those same strategies work in government? We dive into his successes, from cost-cutting measures to innovation, as well as the controversies—such as mass layoffs at X (formerly Twitter), safety issues with Tesla’s self-driving tech, and his complex relationship with regulations.

Join us as we analyze Musk’s strengths and the risks of applying his “move fast and break things” mentality to public service, where accountability and public welfare are paramount. Would Musk’s influence drive positive change, or could it lead to unintended consequences?
