Elon Musk

Yeah.

Like I said, I think Doge Team has done a lot of good work.

In terms of fraud and waste prevented, my guess is it's probably on the order of $200 or $300 billion a year.

So it's pretty good.

I mean, what level of power are we assuming here?

Oh, yeah.

Probably cut the federal budget in half and get more done.

Well, I mean, a whole bunch of government departments simply shouldn't exist, in my opinion.

Well, the Department of Education, which was created recently, like under Jimmy Carter, our educational results have gone downhill ever since it was created.

So if you create a department and the result of creating that department is a massive decline in educational results and it's the Department of Education, you're better off not having it because literally we did better before there was one than after.

Yes.

Yeah.

Because at least the states can compete with one another.

So – but the problem is like you hear like kind of department of education.

Our kids need education.

Yeah, they do.

But this is a new department that didn't even exist until the late 70s.

And ever since that department was created, the results, educational results have declined significantly.

And so why would you have an institution continue that has made education worse?

It doesn't make sense.
