Elon Musk Calls for Privatization of USPS and Amtrak

Elon Musk has advocated for the privatization of the U.S. Postal Service and Amtrak, arguing that these services could be more efficient under private ownership. Musk, who is advising President Donald Trump on plans to shrink the U.S. government, emphasized the need to privatize government operations wherever possible.

Musk’s role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) includes recommending cuts to federal agencies and aligning them with Trump’s vision for a smaller government. However, his appointment has faced legal challenges.
