When Elon Musk was asked at the All-In Summit if he'd learned anything from his brief, chaotic stint in Washington, D.C., he didn't pause to consider. He just grinned and said, "The government is basically unfixable."
The room laughed — but Musk wasn't entirely joking. He went on: "It's good to have talented people in the administration, but at the end of the day, if you look at our national debt, which is insanely high, the interest payments exceed the [Pentagon] budget and they keep rising." Then, almost as if tossing off a punchline that doubled as prophecy, he added, "If AI and robots don't solve our national debt, we're toast."
