FTA:

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.

What Musk is doing, however, makes perfect sense if you understand what the real goal of DOGE is:

"If the administration is working not to save money but rather to destroy the government, the cuts that threaten the well-being of American citizens make more sense."
