Elon Musk: Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Audience: “Everyone's talking about corruption in the election systems, in the DOJ and judicial system. What are your ideas on things Trump can do to drain the swamp without being overwhelmed by their dirty tricks?”

Elon: “As the saying goes, sunlight is the best disinfectant. So I think really just making as much information as possible public, available to the public, so you can see what's going on.

I do have a top secret clearance, but I have to say, most of the stuff that I'm aware of, the reason to keep it top secret is that it's so boring.

The strong bias with respect to government information should be to make it available to the public. Unless there's a genuine risk to the country, all information in the government should be public.”
