and save. They want to save. Specifically, they wanted to get the federal government to accept a zero-based budget, a popular approach to financial planning in Silicon Valley where every spending needs to start from scratch. One way is to offer legally suspicious acquisitions to almost all federal employees, who account for low unit numbers on the budget. Obviously, the other is because you can tear down the USAID. (If you're wondering this is legal, many experts will tell you that it's not.) The fact is that the spending that supports these people and plans is both reasonable and mandatory in Congress) that.
These are just goals we know. So far, they have had so many tentacles in so many institutions that nothing is possible. The only certainty is that it happens in secret.
Musk fans and many Trump fans cheer for all this. Of course, billionaires have to know what they are doing; they are billionaires after all. Fresh engineer Whiz's kids are exactly what the country needs, not the clumsy, simulated thinking about the past. Now it's time for the next step in the Constitution. Of course, why not give a big ball when you give a big ball.
But, what most software starts is that they fail. They took a lot of risks, they did not pay off, they left the failed corpse and began driving the new course deck. This is the process Doge imposes on the United States.
No one would say that the federal bureaucracy is perfect or particularly effective. Of course it can be improved. Of course it should be. However, one reason is that changes are made in an orderly manner through processes involving elected officials and civil servants, as well as care and consideration. The bet is too high, and the cost of failure is total and irrevocable.
Musk will reshape the U.S. government with Hyperloop reshaping the train (boring companies reshaping the subway), and Juicerero reinvented the squeeze. That is to say, he would not reinvent any problems at all, and did not solve them, and provided no solution except to further consolidate his power and wealth. He will strip democracy onto the stud and rebuild it in the difficult image of his own company. He will move quickly. He will destroy things.
