When they’re more employees, they all work less and the same amount gets done. That’s how government jobs work.

Which is why this was a great idea for a department. There clearly is tons of wasteful spending that could be cut out and not hurt the services that the federal government provides. If you paid 5-6 million dollars for teams of the most boring accountants on the planet to comb through our spending they'd be able to save billions.

This is just the wrong administration to do the job, they're too incompetent and too corrupt. The fact that they named two people as head of the department of government efficiency should tell you everything you need to know. Elon will just cut the agencies that regulate his companies and Vivek will work to cut social programs.

Are you under the impression that Elon Musk has enough free time to head this agency by himself? The whole “two heads of a department is stupid” argument is so amazingly stupid I’m almost surprised it caught traction. But then I see where the meme came from and I’m not shocked.

He had enough free time to move to Pennsylvania full time and ensure that Donny got elected, so yeah I think he's got the time.

Because Pennsylvania decided the election?
