Have you seen the list of saving on the DOGE site? It is already a very long list. Pretty sure there will be something on there that is worth keeping. Cutting something doesn’t mean it can’t be changed. Musk also re-hired some of the Twitter employees after cutting too deep.
Mistakes will be made and there is a lot of transparency about his approach. In Europe they are doing the opposite. You should be glad - you don’t live here. It is a bureaucratic nightmare.

Turns out, they are wildly over reporting what they are “saving”, due to gross incompetence.

You don’t even live in the US but for some reason have opinions on this? Oh.
Anyway, after they fired 300 people from the National Nuclear Security Agency, they were “oh oops DOE didn’t realize those people oversaw the safety of our nuclear arsenal” and tried to hire them back, but for some idiotic reason said they didn’t know how to contact them. Employees often aren’t keen to go back to employers that suddenly severed them for no reason. And how insanely stupid is that? Maybe these “DOGE” morons should be a little more careful, not “cut first, rehire later”. It’s not that easy. There is NOT a lot of transparency about this, in fact. If you really think it’s about efficiency or savings you are misinformed or perhaps deluded.
