Elon Musk—if a midlife crisis bought itself a rocket—has just “improved” government efficiency by firing the people who make it efficient.

Since his so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” took over crucial tech teams, 200 technologists have been axed, gutting a decade of work on everything from public health to passport renewals. The biggest casualty? GSA’s 18F division—the team that made government services usable and quietly helped Americans not die in weather disasters.

Musk killing it off in the name of efficiency is like firing doctors to streamline hospitals. It’s stupid. It’s reckless. And somehow, it’s exactly what you’d expect from the man who once looked at public transport and said, "What if it was worse?"
