    On the one hand, government jobs are known to be very cushy compared to industry where the harsh realities of late-stage capitalism are in full swing.

    On the other hand, Elon is in no position to fix the government inefficiency problem. He would call for some ridiculously stupid and uninformed decisions to be made based upon his business ethos of nuking (potentially important) things and starting from scratch.

      His idea of efficiency is having his employees work 60-80 hours a week and firing people that don’t. That does not work with government jobs which are often unionized.

        Exactly. Also, that sort of efficiency is a myth because people can’t sustain that workload for more than the time required to upskill and get out of that company. You lose good people with knowledge of your operation doing what Elon does.
