Elon Musk actually said...

"We all make mistakes, but when we make mistakes, we fix it quickly, and in the case of the USAID, we accidentally canceled, very briefly, Ebola, Ebola prevention."

"We will make mistakes. We won’t be perfect. But when we make a mistake, we’ll fix it very quickly."

"So, for example, with [the U.S. Agency for International Development], one of the things we accidentally canceled, very briefly, was [funding for] Ebola prevention."

"This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!"
