Jeffrey Toobin said the billionaire edgelord’s brief is going to be “a lot harder than it seems.”
The president-elect announced on Tuesday that Musk and Ramaswamy would head up a “Department of Government Efficiency ” which would help his new administration “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.
“However, there is a very boring and very important law called the Administrative Procedures Act, which governs how the government moves along in terms of changing how it works,” Toobin said. “And it requires a lot of hoops to be jumped through if you want to get rid of part of a government department. If you want to change the structure of the Department of Education, the Department of the Interior. You have to go through all these steps.
“Like it or not, these two entrepreneurs are going to have to start learning that and following it,” Toobin continued, referring to Musk and Ramaswamy. “And it’s going to drive them crazy. And we’ll see how much they actually do. There have been lots of attempts to make the government more efficient. Al Gore did it. There was something called the Grace Report back in the Reagan administration. It’s a lot harder than it seems.
