Testing the intellectual and mental abilities of American officials through an examination

After repeated mistakes by senior American officials, Elon Musk has demanded that the intellectual and mental abilities of the country's officials be measured through examinations and experiments.

Musk made the request after 81-year-old Texas congressman Kai Granger was taken to a nursing home for people with dementia after getting lost on the street.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal wrote that people around current US President Joe Biden, during his four years in office, have tried to prevent him from making frequent blunders and having unprepared and lengthy conversations.

His comments follow reports that an 81-year-old sitting congresswoman who was feared missing had, in fact, been placed in a nursing home for individuals with dementia. The scandal erupted this week after local media reported that Kay Granger, a Republican lawmaker in Texas who has held a seat in the House of Representatives for nearly 30 years, had been absent from her office for the past six months, with her team being completely unreachable. Employees at a dementia care assisted living facility confirmed that Granger was living there, The Dallas Express reported on Friday.
