Someday there may be a little book of the sayings of “Chairman” Musk, and one of them will be this.
Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it's like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days! Working the weekend is a superpower.
The Feds have had a monopoly nearly forever, and that makes them lazy. Warriors don’t take off the weekends. Musk’s ‘troops’ are fighting a war against government waste, their opposition works a nominal 40 hours a week, maybe from home, over 5 days. Ceteris paribus, which side would you suppose is winning?
Musk is moving too fast to be stopped. The bureaucrats and their Dim allies in Congress have been left sputtering with impotent rage and indignation while Musk enacts a cross between a “hostile takeover" and a forensic audit. After the way the Dims treated Trump, you have to know it is hostile.
