Perhaps they are in the process of doing so?

Perhaps it's possible to grip them but not to pack them?


Because he is?

He bought a propaganda platform, manipulated the public and has now a seat in the lap of trump.

He said for 10 years Tesla cars will drive itself, he says doge saved billions but so far they just cut things and haven't found the smoking gun and very soon they will take Medicaid away and social security.

Billionaires who don't need a state dismantling the social state to make more money.


What underdog?

Trump had already 4 years in office.

Reps had the office before obama.

Do you think everyone in the USA gov is an utter idiot and musk is now saving USA?!


I'm not against gov efficiency.

I just find it disrespectful to try to do this in a week while trump has 4 years to clean up.

This disruptive behavior kills people and hasn't provided any efficiency for real waste.

Btw government jobs are good. Capitalism is not the end goal.

The USA is not just a democracy, it is a republic. Trump is not all-powerfull for 4 years because he won one election.

If you think so, then I can see a future Democrat president curtailing the 2nd amendment via executive fiat. You happy with that? This is how democracy works, right?


The USA is both a democracy (we vote) and a republic (we have a president instead of a monarch). They are not mutually exclusive. It is, in fact, a democratic republic.


Where is this huge waste though?

Musk said they will clean up, I only have seen false information, wrong numbers and the removal of a few millions of aid which is something the biggest economy on the planet should easily be able to afford.

If condoms against HIV is the biggest win so far, the question would be if it's valid to disrupt millions of lives and destroying/ignoring the separation of power in a / the biggest democracy we nlknow.


Also, all of this will definitely mean loss of soft power throughout the world for the States.


My personal expectations of someone optimizing the spending of the biggest military power on the planet apparently seem to be higher than yours.

I would have a proper research and validation team in place making sure there are only correct information being shared


But Musk successfully build a new type of fast travel car tunnel?

And he optimized twitters value to 10 Billion?!


Do you have more details about it?

My first thought is sharding and materialized views.
