Imagine you had pretty much unlimited power over the government and wanted to save taxpayers' money. You could: Carefully study government operations to understand what works and what doesn't Make targeted improvements based on data and evidence Track results to ensure changes actually deliver savings Or you could do what Elon Musk did with DOGE: declare everything wasteful, start firing people at random, and claim you're saving billions through pure destruction.
