Elon Musk: The Federal Government Is Worse Than I Thought—But That Means More Can Be Fixed

Elon Musk: The government is worse than I expected, but that also means there's more we can improve.

“The federal government is worse than I expected. On the plus side, that means there's more opportunity for improvement. There's actually a lot of opportunity for improvement in federal government expenditures because it's so bad. If it was a well-run ship, it would be very difficult to improve.

If people ask, how will you figure out how to save money in the federal government? Well, it's like being in a room where the walls, the roof and the floor are all targets. So, you shoot in any direction, and you can't miss.”
