WASHINGTON — Billionaire Elon Musk said on Thursday many federal government agencies must be eliminated as part of President Donald Trump 's push to radically overhaul the US government."We do need to delete entire agencies, as opposed to leave part of them behind. Just leave part of them behind. It's easy. It's kind of like leaving a weed," Musk said in a video call addressing the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
Since Trump took office on January 20, Musk has dispatched members of his Department of Government Efficiency to scrutinize sensitive personnel and payment information in government computer systems. Musk has led a successful drive to dismantle two agencies—one that provides a lifeline to the world's needy, USAID, and another that protects Americans from unscrupulous lenders, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
