Gvmt services aren't meant to make profits! Our taxes fund community services (fire/police/mail etc). Elon wants a world where your house is on fire but the private FD won't come because you don't qualify or haven't paid your bill. Like private health insurance! And Elon wants to own the company.

Musk was speaking in a virtual appearance at a Morgan Stanley technology conference.

if they want efficiency, to change spending priorities, do it right, civilly and based in facts.
Government’n ain’t your kinda gig bro.
There is always a section in the contract that every contract employer always trains you to focus on that allows them to charge more.
We are encouraged to exploit it.
Damn near abuse it.
So Elon is wrong. You should not privatize at much as possible.
