    He will make it as efficient as he did with Twitter!

    It all starts with a name change, as always. Maybe “Holy Roman empire” will be dramatic enough for his tastes.

      Governments should not be measured in “value” of any financial aspect, but rather the quality of living of the citizens they govern. Electing a leader of questionable human rights morals would be a disaster.

    This just goes to show that nobody ever graduates school. What happens in elementary school in terms of popularity contests reoccurs in junior high and high school, college, businesses, religions, and governments. Humanity is still in its adolescence and until we actually mature as a species, we will constantly be on the brink of death or we will find a way to make it happen.

    Elon Musk nonsense aside, a Department for Government Efficiency is honestly not a bad idea. Apparently, the military is tremendously wasteful, as are most other government departments. This could genuinely save some taxpayer money and free up funds for good things.
