Newly signed Executive Order is pretty wild. Officially puts Elon in charge of radically downsizing all non-military departments, and all hiring—at a mandated (arbitrary) rate of just 1 for every four workers who quit—must now go through him.

Good luck finding cuts that don’t cripple essential services.
And why isn't a gross conflict of interest in letting a govt contractor making these decisions?
1. Foreign countries.
2. Giving money away for grants and such.
3. Apparently the Dept of Education.
4. Some of these voids will be filled by the private sector.
