Elon Musk called for the U.S. to “delete entire agencies” to cut federal spending during a video address at the World Governments Summit in Dubai. Speaking as head of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump, Musk criticized bureaucratic overreach, cited Trump’s dismantling of USAID, and advocated for a less interventionist foreign policy. Musk criticized DEI initiatives, suggesting AI designed for diversity could hypothetically target and eliminate men in power. Musk also unveiled plans for a “Dubai Loop” transit project with the Boring Company, which Dubai’s crown prince confirmed is under consideration.
