Jamie Dimon: Elon Is Our Einstein—And He’s Right to Question Government Efficiency

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: Elon is our Einstein. It's rational he checks our government efficiency.

“You’ve got to look at Elon, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can.

I think it is completely rational for someone to look at our government and say it's been ineffective. We deserve good government, and I don't think anyone thinks sending another trillion dollars to Washington, D.C., will lead to good government.

The government needs to be more accountable. It needs to be more efficient. It should be outcomes-based. I mean, I'd say [go] department by department.

I wish them the best. It's going to be complicated. The federal government's complicated. You read about all the people in it. And so, you know, if we could be helpful to them, I'd love to be helpful to them.”
