Remark of the day

Is Musk losing it?

August 20, 2024
Life and politics

Elon Musk claims that he is ready to serve as the chief of the Department of Government Efficiency in the Trump administration. He forgot what he did when he had to improve Twitter's performance after purchasing it. He fired about 80% of employees, and Twitter did not collapse. After taking office as president of Argentina in December of 2023, Javier Milei did not create the Department of Government Efficiency either. He did the opposite; he dissolved 11 ministries and fired 15,000 government employees. As of June 2024, 55% of Argentinians are OK with that. One does not improve efficiency by creating a new bureaucracy but by eliminating the existing one. Musk knew that at Twitter but forgot it when veering into politics.
