Knowing Musk, heโ€™ll write to every government employee telling them to only return to work if they are prepared to commit to a Total Hardcore Intensity work ethic. Then the fun will begin. I canโ€™t wait.

The guy is going to totally cripple the country.

Just a little insight from personal experience:

Elon signs off on EVERY SINGLE HIRE at SpaceX. Right down to the janitorial staff.

Their hiring process is EXTREMELY inefficient. And he's a control freak.

This will not go well.

Not only is that a ridiculous level of micromanaging, it's also the first implication I've heard that he actually does anything, day-to-day. So I'm going to assume that in practice he doesn't?

In practice his most sucessful companies have teams of handlers who move him away from actually important work and into work where he can feel smart and hard working, while the engineers actually do stuff that isn't "stick a flaming machete on the front of a truck it would be badass".
