ON PAPER...MINUS Republicans, Musk, and his little boy hacker goons...let's say a President Obama or President Biden wanted to form a task force to "identify and eliminate wasteful government spending."

IF either of those two gentlemen VETTED qualified personnel (rather than a sketchy dude who calls himself "Big Balls&quot ...IF there was a CLEAR written agenda...IF it all went through Congress to make sure it was Kosher...sure, there could POTENTIALLY be value in that.

But getting blazed on Ketamine and swinging a chainsaw and just DISPOSING of employees without understanding why they were there in the first place, and demanding that ridiculous "three things you accomplished this week" email?

Musk assumed that his stupid antics at the Twitter offices on "Day 1" would scale to the Federal Government.

He was wrong.
