I admit I'm totally clueless as to what's in it because my instinct is that Elon is right and its full of garbage but who knows. There are a few right- wing people on X attacking Elon over it, but it could just be from not liking the guy or just generic GOP bootlicking. Thoughts?

The US congress passes between 4 and 6 million words worth of new legislation every two years. That's 9 to 13 times the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, in extremely dense and unreadable prose, every two years, and that's just what's enacted, not what's proposed, and the people voting on it spend a large chunk of the year back in their districts. These people are routinely voting bills into law that they've never even read themselves.
Lobbyists literally write the bills and then tell our elected representatives how to vote. Everything we do to fix our country and our government is basically just window dressing on the Titanic. There’s no way we’re fixing the fundamental problems with this government without some sort of reset.
