Theories I’ve seen for why Musk etc are cutting federal jobs so randomly & irresponsibly are mostly (a) to replace jobs with AI, (b) to force privatization by breaking everything, or (c) sheer ignorance/incompetence. I suspect a mix of all 3, but the disregard for lives in the meantime is sickening.

#2 is "move fast and break things". They don't care if removing a grant for forest divert happens during their DEI purge. #3 Incompetence is really just a side effect of #2.
They're be screaming their throats RAW if the shoe was on the other foot.
To Musk and Trump, we are simply computer-generated characters in a game they are playing. Hell they probably think of each other the same way.
Narcissism is an ugly business.
They'll probably reinstate white layoffs and then put hiring directives in place that eliminate DEI by simply hiring only white folks.
If DOGE corelates voter's party registration with the federal government's payroll, expect even 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 targeted firings and layoffs but of 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 Dem employees!
He can run 3 companies, so why can't 1 air traffic controller do 3 shifts?

Way too many people have bought the false narrative that “private always does it better than public”

However if your theory is you need loyal people running things you would want to have them lower to promote…..
Every movement has its energy at max when it takes power then becomes boring unexciting and routine.
In theory.
I’m not saying it will work but it’s got some logic you can see.
