After repeatedly mentioning talking/recruiting the "smartest people" around DOGE, that was enough to know this person's opinion isn't very important. Or more to the point, it's not an honest objective take.

Sort of like a TV or movie award show, with everyone praising everyone else's "genius".

Reads more like in-group flattery to establish position within the group.

But what do I know, I'm not tres commas rich.
