Europe’s bloated governments need his efficiency revolution much more than Washington does
Having transformed the car business with his technical flair, his eye for logistics, the genius from the Bay Area tried the same in Washington. He had a record of supporting a different political party to that of the president who appointed him. But no matter. If the bloated state could adopt the efficient methods of this avant-garde industrialist, all would win. In the end, Robert McNamara, the Ford man turned Pentagon chief during the Vietnam war, was a tragic failure in government.
But one advantage of this unreciprocated infatuation is that, if Musk does change Washington, the British political class will sit up, as it wouldn’t if the same achievement took place in Paris or Canberra. He might give them what is known in the jargon of the day as the “permission structure” to reform. Britain needs that nudge. It hasn’t balanced its fiscal budget since the early millennium. The planning regime is a Surrealist joke. The NHS forever needs “saving”.
