Billionaire and Department of Government Efficiency czar Elon Musk and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer could not be more different. But they share a stated common goal: cutting red tape and reducing the burden of government on businesses, especially the tech sector.To be sure, the two are going about this in very different ways. In the United States, President Donald Trump’s push to cut public spending and eliminate entire agencies risks gutting essential functions without a clear plan for technological replacements. The United Kingdom under Starmer has adopted a more measured approach, focusing on curbing regulatory overreach rather than dismantling the government.
