Elon Musk Says AI Should Replace U.S. Government Employees: “Too Slow, Too Expensive”

Elon Musk has once again stirred the pot — this time by claiming that artificial intelligence should replace a large portion of federal employees. Why? Because, according to Musk, the U.S. government is bloated, inefficient, and wastes taxpayer money.

🏛️ Musk Calls Government a “Bloated Chaos” Speaking at a private discussion with Michael Milken during the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in Beverly Hills, Musk argued that AI could handle many bureaucratic tasks faster, cheaper, and more effectively than humans. His remarks came as he formally stepped down from his leadership role in DOGE – the Department of Government Efficiency, a Trump-backed cost-cutting initiative.

🛏️ Ice Cream, Diablo & the Lincoln Bedroom Musk also offered a glimpse into his surreal Washington experience. He described his “micro-office” in the West Wing — with a view of nothing but an HVAC unit — joking that it made him “harder to shoot.” He slept in the Lincoln Bedroom, ate Haagen-Dazs ice cream from the White House freezer, and played Diablo and Path of Exile from a government-issued computer. He insists he never asked to stay overnight — Trump simply offered.

💥 DOGE Cuts Sparked Chaos and Lawsuits During Musk’s time in DOGE, entire federal agencies were dismantled, tens of thousands of employees were laid off, and internal audits slashed spending across departments. Musk claimed the program saved $160 billion and blocked fraud schemes involving fake SBA loans submitted under children's names — though no official documentation was provided.

Critics Warn of National Vulnerabilities Critics argue that the cuts weakened public health services, exposed communities to climate risks, and diminished U.S. influence abroad — which China quickly exploited in regions previously aligned with Washington.

🔄 Musk Isn't Leaving for Good Despite stepping back, Musk says he’ll still be in D.C. “one or two days a week.” During a recent Cabinet meeting, Trump told him: “You’re welcome to stay as long as you like.”

Still, Musk’s words had the tone of a farewell: “I just want to thank all of you,” he said.

Meanwhile, he continues to run Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, but faces pressure to refocus on Tesla, as its revenues slip and investors grow frustrated.

🧠 Tesla Rumors and Meme Politics Following rumors that Tesla's board was looking for a new CEO, Chairwoman Robyn Denholm jumped on X to deny the claim: “Total lie.”

Musk responded by promising to spend more time at Tesla starting in May. And in a bizarre twist, the name DOGE — originally a meme coin — has now entered Congress. Lawmakers have even formed official committees under the same name. Musk couldn’t help but laugh: “Doesn’t this feel like a simulation? I mean… what even is this? Isn’t it completely absurd?”

❓Question for Readers: Should AI really replace federal employees — or is Musk pushing his techno-utopian dream a step too far?
