Elon Musk wants to gut the government like he did at Twitter. But his private sector strategies are going to be tested at DOGE
Briefly

Elon Musk's appointment to the Department of Government Efficiency signifies an aggressive aim to streamline federal employment and regulations, leveraging his experience from significant layoffs at his companies.
With Ramaswamy suggesting firing 75% of federal employees, their strategy for cost-cutting hinges largely on vast head-count reductions within the federal bureaucracy, echoing Musk's tactics at Twitter.
Musk's prior mass layoffs at Twitter resulted in a workforce reduction of over 80%, raising questions about the sustainability and effectiveness of such drastic downsizing in government operations.
As Musk and Ramaswamy seek to apply their proven corporate methods in a government setting, they face the challenge that public sector dynamics differ significantly from private enterprises.
