MOSCOW, November 20 – PRIME. An American entrepreneur and one of the main public figures who supported Donald Trump in the last presidential election, Elon Musk called for “demolishing and pouring holy water on” the building of the US Department of Education. “Such an ugly building! Just demolish it and pour holy water on the ruins,” Musk said, commenting on the publication of one of the users who posted a photo of the ministry and wondered what would happen to the building after its closure. Previously, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who together with Musk, will head the new US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), emphasized that he intends to abolish a number of departments, including the Department of Education, the FBI, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), as well as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Nutrition and Dietetics Service of the Ministry of Agriculture.

MOSCOW, November 20 – PRIME. An American entrepreneur and one of the main public figures who supported Donald Trump in the last presidential election, Elon Musk called for “demolishing and pouring holy water on” the building of the US Department of Education.
“Such an ugly building! Just demolish it and pour holy water on the ruins,” Musk said, commenting on the publication of one of the users who posted a photo of the ministry and wondered what would happen to the building after its closure.
Earlier, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, who together with Musk will head the new US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), emphasized that he intends to abolish a number of departments, including the Department of Education, the FBI, the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), and also the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Food and Dietetics Service of the Department of Agriculture.

– What impact could Musk’s call for demolishing the US Department of Education have on public perception of government agencies?
Musk is an American entrepreneur and businessman who is known for co-founding and leading several high-profile companies, such as SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitch. He is also involved in various philanthropic activities and has expressed support for various political causes in the past. In 2024, Musk was quoted calling for the demolition of the US Department of Education’s building and pouring “holy water” on its ruins. He made this statement in response to a user’s photo of the ministry’s building and question about its fate after closure.
This statement from Musk comes at a time when there are talks of reorganizing the US government departments, with some suggesting the elimination of certain agencies. The DOGE, which stands for the Department of Government Efficiency, is a proposed department tasked with streamlining and making the government more efficient. However, it is unclear whether Musk’s comments were made in jest or if he seriously supports the idea of eliminating the Education Department.
Questions for further discussion:
- What do you think about Musk’s comment regarding the US Department of Education?
– Do you think the government should prioritize education more or focus on other areas of concern?
– Can the government be more efficient without having a dedicated department for education?
– How can the government improve education in the United States?
