(Zero Hedge)—Tech billionaire Elon Musk waxed poetic about his time leading the Department of Government Efficiency in Washington, D.C., describing the experience as significant but secondary to a more pressing challenge: preparing society for the rapid rise of disruptive artificial intelligence.
“Fixing the government is like, say, the beach is dirty and there’s some needles and feces and trash,” Musk begin in an interview with Garry Tan of Y Combinator. “But then there’s also this thousand-foot wall of water, which is a tsuami of AI.”
“How much does cleaning the beach really matter if you’ve got a thousand-foot tsumai about to hit? Not that much,” the Tesla CEO continued. “Back to the main quest of building technology, which is what I like doing.”
“The signal to noise ratio in politics is terrible,” he added.

On May 28th, Musk announced his departure from DOGE, concluding his 130-day tenure as a special government employee in the Trump administration.
Later in the interview, Musk predicted that AI will drive an economy thousands or millions of times larger than today’s size, if it doesn’t wipe us out first.
“AI will so profoundly change the future, it’s difficult to fathom how much. But, you know, the economy, assuming we don’t, things don’t go awry, and AI doesn’t kill us all and itself, then you’ll see ultimately an economy that is not, not ten times more than the current economy,” Musk said. “Ultimately, if we become, say, or whatever our future machine descendants, or mostly machine descendants, become a Kardashev scale two civilization or beyond, we’re talking about an economy that is thousands of times, maybe millions of times, bigger than the economy today.”

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage

Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.

- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
