Yeah, what he doesn’t understand is that the government bureaucracy that’s been created is the only reason many of the departments of government work as _quickly_ as they do.
While we as engineers see what appear to be obvious slow inefficiencies (like: “I could build a system to replace all that the DMV does so people won’t need to sit in that waiting room!”) the reality is we don’t even understand all that the DMV does.
I feel that’s the trap Musk falls into, and it became blatantly obvious when he took over X.
Aside from liberals boycotting X for political reasons (a completely non-technical issue), technically the site seems to work perfectly fine even after Musk drastically reduced the bureaucracy behind it.
I’m boycotting X because I think Elon Musk is an ass and I don’t want to support him in any way. Twitter died to me when it became X and I’m totally fine with that.
