Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has made a bold statement on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He says he wants to “fix” the U.S. government’s Information Technology (IT) department. Musk believes this task is more difficult than launching a rocket into orbit. The statement sheds light on both his habit of accepting challenges and the shortcomings of the government’s tech infrastructure.

Musk’s proposal will generate both curiosity and skepticism among people. On one hand, he has a track record of making the impossible possible through Tesla and SpaceX, which proves his capability. On the other hand, the U.S. government’s IT system is like a maze that is filled with bureaucracy, outdated technology and budget issues. Therefore, a private individual intervening in public systems, especially in sensitive areas like national security, becomes a controversial topic.
