Elon Musk: Without War to Clear Out Bureaucracy, We Need Something Like DOGE

Elon Musk: In the absence of war, something like DOGE is always needed.

“One of the things that always happens with an extended period of peacetime, is a steady increase in the amount of bureaucracy.

The size of government grows. The laws and regulations that are put in place get larger every year.

The cleansing process for getting rid of nonsensical laws and regulations normally is war. Now, obviously, we'd prefer not to have war drive the reformation of government.

So, in the absence of war, you need something like what we have formed here in the US, a Department of Government Efficiency, in order to get rid of laws and regulations.”
