Mark Cuban Says, If They Replaced Elon Musk With Him, He's Still Try to Make Government Smaller By 'Cutting A Lot Of People'
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban says he doesn't need a political title to shake up big systems—and if he were ever asked to replace Elon Musk in running the government, he'd still aim to shrink it dramatically.
Cuban Would Still Shrink Government—Just With a Plan
“Trying to cut the size of government... and cutting a lot of people for better or worse, comes with the territory,” Cuban said on a recent episode of “The Lincoln Project Podcast.” “You can’t make government smaller and not cut hundreds of thousands, if not, you know, some significant number.”
Throughout the interview, Cuban stressed the importance of planning and transparency, and his belief that without a strategy, drastic government cuts result in more harm than good.
“Shock and awe is great, but if there’s no plan behind shock and awe, it’s just shock and awful,” he said.
