This guy Musk finally stopped playing with Trump! On May 28, he tweeted, 'I’m done,' and directly fired the efficiency department of the U.S. government (which was his experimental ground for using AI to reform bureaucracy). The surface reason was 'the department became a scapegoat,' but anyone with clear eyes knows—this essentially marks the complete collapse of the war between the Silicon Valley tech fanatic and the old hands of Washington.
I carefully dug into the origins of this matter.
Going deeper, three key conflicts are discovered:
The core of Musk's government reform is to 'cut wasteful spending with AI,' but Trump turned around and enacted a tax bill that directly skyrocketed the deficit to $3.8 trillion. This operation is akin to saving the company $18 billion only for the boss to turn around and buy a private jet, blowing the budget and ending up in massive debt; if it were me, I would have flipped the table!
Musk wanted to use Starlink and AI to transform government processes, only to discover that the people in the White House are not interested in being transformed. It's like giving a computer to a primitive tribe, and they only want to use the keyboard as a cutting board for meat—what the bureaucratic system wants is to solidify power, not improve efficiency.
Musk strongly supported collaboration between American steel and Japanese companies, but Trump smashed the agreement with the 'national security' stick. This scene resembles pushing for international cooperation in a company, only for the chairman to suddenly shout 'foreigners are all liars' and tear up the contract—absurd, but this is the political reality.
Looking back now, Musk's entry into government was fundamentally a mistake. He thought he could crush Washington with the successful experience of Tesla and SpaceX, but reality slapped him hard. The most ironic thing is that the only successful case of AI government reform he led saved 7% of administrative costs (about $18 billion/year), but before that money could even warm up, it was doubled and squandered by Trump's spending policies.
This farce proves three things—
In Washington, technological ideals cannot compete with power games.
No matter how genius Musk is, he cannot cure the cancer of American bureaucracy.
Trump's 'America First' is essentially 'short-sighted supremacy.'
Lastly, a piece of advice for Musk: hurry back to your Mars base, the political waters on Earth are too deep for you to navigate!
