YouTube Description
as posted by the channelElon Musk joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday, where he addressed reporters for the first time amid his aggressive cost-cutting efforts across the federal government. "If there's not a good feedback loop from the people to the government and if you have rule of the bureaucrat, or if the bureaucracy is in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?" said Musk
As examples of waste, Musk mentioned that people who are 150 years old, so are “probably dead,” are receiving Social Security checks and that bureaucrats with a salary of “a few $100,000” have “somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth.” He said that happened with U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) employees, suggesting they “got wealthy at the taxpayers’ expense.”
