Musk's Efficiency Reforms and Their Impact

Elon Musk's potential appointment to a government efficiency commission by Trump raises concerns about conflicts of interest, especially given Musk's extensive involvement in various companies under federal investigation. Following his acquisition of Twitter, Musk implemented drastic efficiency reforms, laying off around 75% of the staff across all departments, including key functions like content moderation and security. These cuts were designed to save costs, yet they also led to operational chaos and reduced ability to manage harmful content, ultimately harming Twitter's revenue streams due to a significant exodus of advertisers. The lack of experienced personnel and clear direction contributed to a weakened company that struggled to regain profitability.
