Sorry, folks. This is what you get when the institutions fail to help the people they ostensibly were designed to help. There are more than 400 government agencies. No one even knows which one is responsible for what. There are artificial fiefdoms that exist because they self-perpetuate, are effective at shifting blame, and curry a perception of importance.

IMHO, Elon is an agent of chemotherapy for an obviously overgrown bureaucratic cancer. He will take it too far. It's a dirty and thankless job. However, it might be the only way to "refactor" the state without a civil war or revolution. It reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justinian_I , who rewrote laws (cut 90% of the volume) to consolidate their meaning.

I'm not cheering for it, but institutions have lost.
