Elon Musk called the fight against bureaucracy in the United States "incredibly difficult."

American billionaire Elon Musk considers the process of dealing with the federal bureaucracy in the United States to be "incredibly difficult." He said this in an interview with The Washington Post (WP) on March 27.

"The situation with the federal bureaucracy is much worse than I expected. I thought there were problems here, but trying to improve the situation in the District of Columbia is an incredibly difficult task, to put it mildly," he said.

The entrepreneur pointed out that the Department of State Efficiency (DOGE), which reports to him, has become a "whipping boy", since when problems arise, many blame the department for everything, even if it has nothing to do with the situation.
