Elon Musk's call for deleting entire agencies is part of his push to cut spending and restructure government priorities.

Elon Musk, who is now leading the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump, calls for the deletion of entire agencies as part of his push to cut spending and restructure government priorities. He says that while some of these are valuable organizations, they are not removing the roots of the weed, which makes it easy for the weeds to grow back. His comments come as he has consolidated control over large swaths of government with Trump's blessing since assuming leadership of the Department.

Musk further offered a wide-ranging survey via video call to the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on what he described as the priorities of the Trump administration interspersed with multiple references to thermonuclear warfare and the possible dangers of artificial intelligence. He also noted the Trump administration's focus on eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion work, linking it to AI.

In his speech, Musk said that the United States is less interested in interfering with the affairs of other countries, as he offered a more-isolationist view of American power in the Middle East. While speaking to the crowd in the UAE, an autocratically ruled nation of seven sheikhdoms, there are times the United States has been kind of pushy in international affairs.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
