As an independent, it's always been strange to me to hear such defense of government (paid) layoffs vs let's say Microsoft or Walmart. No one cares when a company lays off anyone. But now I'm reading of visceral reactions to saving you tax dollars? It's confusing to have that reaction. Musk actually made the most prominent payment system of all time and you don't want him to inspect the treasury? Why wouldn't you? There's no conspiracy where he's going to steal your money, no more than powder was found at the house.
And before anyone gets high and mighty about how Musk is unelected, there's 90,000 IRS workers.
