Getting a bit concerned about the impact of Musk and Co. being so successful. Suppose they do manage to slice $2tn p.a. off government spending? It doesn’t really matter if it is fraudulent SS payments, corrupt treasury payments, overpaying of contracts for military and other procurements or the abolition of whole departments; it’s taking $2tn out of the economy.
I’m not suggesting they don’t do it – but there doesn’t seem to be a plan to soften the impact.
