The US Government is not a launch

And savings. They want savings. In particular, they want to submit to the federal government at zero budgeting, popular Financial planning method in the Silicon Valley, in which all costs must be justified by scratch. One way to do this is to offer legal suspicious redemptions to almost all federal employees who collectively make up a low percentage of a number of budget. Another, obviously, is yes Remove USAID Just because you can. (If you are wondering how this is legal, very, very The experts will tell you that it is not.) The fact that the costs of supporting these people and programs are justified and appointed by Congress is treated as an inconvenience, or maybe even that.

These are just the goals we know about. So far, they have so much tentacles in so many agencies that everything is possible. The only certainty is that it happens secretly.

Musk fans and A lot of TrumpThey cheered all this. Certainly billionaires need to know what they are doing; After all, they are billionaires. Children with a fresh face engineer are exactly what this country needs, not the increased, analog thinking about the past. It’s time to follow the Constitution. Of course why not, give big balls a Memecoin While you are in this.

However, the thing in most startup software starts is that they fail. They take great risks and do not pay off and leave the corpse of this failure behind them and begin to throw a new pitch. This is the process that Dog imposes on the United States.

No one would argue that federal bureaucracy is perfect or particularly effective. Of course, it can be improved. Of course it should be. But there is a reason that change comes slowly, methodically, through processes that include selected employees and civil servants and care and considerations. The bets are too high and the cost of damage is common and irrevocable.

Musk will rediscover the US government in the way Hyperloop rediscovers trains that the boring company rediscovers the subway that Juicero rediscovered Pressure. Which means that he will not rediscover anything at all, not to eliminate problems, not to offer solutions beyond those who further consolidate his own strength and wealth. He will undress democracy to the studs and restore it to the wicked image of his own companies. It will move fast. He will break things.
