Elon Musk: Let the Builders of America Build—Cut the Bureaucratic Chains

Elon Musk: We need to let the builders of America build.

“We've got a gigantic government bureaucracy. We've got overregulation. We've got agencies that have overlapping responsibilities.

There's something like 450 federal government agencies, almost two per year since America was founded. So, we're just creating new agencies all the time.

And it's getting to the point where basically everything's illegal. You just can't get anything done. These become real costs to people. They're hidden costs, but they're very substantial.

It's very hard to build new housing if you're burdened with massive requirements that don't make any sense. It drives up the housing cost, it slows down new housing starts.

We need to let the builders of America build.”
