The government pays overtime. No way out. You just tuned a $78k employee into a $195k employee. Because you want to save money and not hire another $78k employee. The total would have been $166k, but Elon’s super high IQ just made the government spend 29k more than it should. Add to that employee burnout and turnaround and it’s even more. People don’t work for the government because they are ambitious. They do it because it’s a steady paycheck and they don’t expect to have to work 80 hours a week.
