So, all it costs to own a big, powerful government agency is $300MM?

Elon - start your buying spree! I'm going to guess the Department of Education is in their bargain bin, so start there.

You do know who financed the DoE, don't you? It was none other than John D. Rockefeller. He donated X number of million to the federal government. Naturally he wanted a say in what public schools taught children.

Be careful what you ask billionaires to do. You just might get what you want. If I were an American, the last asshat I would want running public education is Elon Musk. He is a CIA sock puppet. There ARE no good billionaires.

To the next president: disband the DoE. Let the states and localities take care of it.
