Not sure that matters and I am going by your insistence that Elon somehow owns and controls a decentralized asset. You have demonstrated a willingness to conclude things without understanding the subject. In my example, do you think you need to do a study on which cows lick stamps the best? If not, why not?

In your experience, all the times you have laid off half a workforce, did you form committees to figure out at the individual level who to let go and who gets to stay? Or did you just leave that to department heads? Why are they expert? They are the ones who hired the worst employees.

Do you understand that his point is not that there is a spectrum of quality workers in the government but that it is so bloated that it doesnt matter who you fire. If you disagree with this statement, then of course you will disagree with the method. You are assuming that you and Vivek hold the same views about who is working at the government. You do not. Thus, of course you won't agree with his method of reducing the size of government.
