Call me crazy but I don't believe a Nazi, eugenicist and racist should be anywhere near government and making decisions which affect millions of people. I also don't believe that fresh out of college edge lords have any idea on how government works and the consequences of their actions. Oh and government officials should actually be able to see what unelected people are doing to government institutions.

I also don't believe the man whose companies also rely on government subsidies is in any position to decide on these things, it is firstly a massive conflict of interest and secondly hypocritical. I would also point to his one company that doesn't rely on government handouts (Twitter) is crashing and burning in revenue and profit even after he laid of 80% of its workforce.

Governments should not be ran like a business either where everything has a P/L system, that isn't to say they can throw away infinite amounts of cash with nothing in return but it is to say that there are certain things which are forgivable to put money into without a "profit" as it provides major benefits elsewhere, that can be foreign aid to boost diplomatic relations, prevent the spread of deadly diseases, increase economic ties or things that benefit a countries population as a whole, like healthcare, which in turn leads to a stronger workforce and healthier nation.

Musk and his cronies are simply burning through absolutely everything, with no thought at all behind the consequences of their actions, the negative impacts in the future, all on the vague bullshit of "cutting costs" but shockingly, none of these "savings" will impact the average citizen, instead the rich will continue to get richer as local and foreign support systems are gutted. Lets take the USAID which has provided American farmers billions in the past, now gone. Or the thousands of now jobless people in America.

Here's another random attack: Musk’s Team Takes Control of Key Systems at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Which funnily has bipartisan support but it won't stop Musk in his insane crusade.
