Musk demands radical conversion of the US government-revolution or risk?

In a controversial statement, Elon Musk has expressed alarming warnings about the impending shortage of skilled workers in the United States. According to an X-user, it could be missing from over 160,000 qualified engineers by 2032, which Musk described as "the greatest restriction of the Silicon Valley". He emphasized the urgency and demanded that the United States urgently need twice as many engineers - "and yesterday". In his reasoning, Musk called for a solution through targeted, qualified migration to remedy the lack of talented specialists. In his opinion, like in a sports team, the best talents worldwide should be recruited to secure the nation's competitive advantage. This fits into the ongoing discussion about immigration and workers in the USA, as reported by today.at.

Musk’s radical plans for the US government

In addition to his statements about the shortage of skilled workers, Musk, who acts as a consultant of Donald Trump, outlined plans for the restructuring of the US government. By mid -2026, its renovation project should be completed, which provides for a massive job cuts and reduction in subsidies. In a guest post for Wall Street Journal, Musk, together with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, wrote that current bureaucracy is an "existential threat" for US democracy. Musk and Ramaswamy intend to establish and demand a significantly reduced government apparatus by 2026 to temporarily suspend many regulations in order to reduce bureaucracy. It is also unclear what the exact criteria for deleting thousands of regulations will look like. These comprehensive reforms should be enforced with the backing of the Supreme Court, since Musk and Ramaswamy point out that many authorities may be able to exceed the powers granted by the congress, which could give their project further impetus, as reported by Tagesschau.

The views of Musk meet mixed reactions. While some support the need for more talent from abroad, critics say that there should be enough American top forces without having to fall back on foreign resources. Musk's answer that there is hardly any qualified Americans to meet the need, encounter resistance and lets questions about priorities in the American labor market.
