Musk on Thursday called for the "removal of all agencies" from the U.S. federal government. Since becoming head of the "Department of Government Efficiency", Musk has consolidated his control over large parts of government with Trump's support. Musk made the remarks at the World Government Summit in the United Arab Emirates, wearing a black T-shirt that read "Tech Support." He joked that he was "tech support from the White House." "How many agencies does it take to govern a country? 99? Definitely not 450." "I think we do need to delete whole agencies, not leave a lot of them," Musk said. "If we don't cut the weeds, then weeds can easily grow back." (Kim Ten)
