Streamlining government processes to be more efficient: Worthy goal, and _maybe_ Elon in a former life would have been the right person to spearhead this.

But that's not what's happening now. They're not streamlining, they -- and by that I mean Elon's engineers -- are "uncovering fraud", "rooting out corruption", and "getting rid of DEI" -- none of which have anything to do with efficiency and red tape. Oh, and coincidentally, the fraud and corruption all happens to be centered at agencies which Trump and Elon have a beef with (maybe because DEI==corruption?)

Yes, we need more technologists in government. Also, technologists should take care of _technology_, not _purges_.
