Elon Musk agrees with economist Friedman's view that the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce may "disappear"

Odaily News Elon Musk and billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, who will co-lead Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are already considering which parts of the government can be cut. Musk on Wednesday mentioned the view of Milton Friedman, a famous economist, decades ago that the government structure has become bloated. He said, "Milton Friedman (the view) is the best." In the interview, Friedman listed a list of federal agencies that should not have been established in the first place, as well as those that he believes are important. Friedman said the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce should "disappear" immediately, but the Department of Defense should be retained. (Jinshi)
