Elon Musk claimed his job was to eliminate waste and fraud. He and a bunch of 19- to 26-year-olds have ordered mass firings in departments they know nothing about. If someone points out that those fired were really needed, such as people taking care of our nuclear weapons, they say oops then try to cancel their actions. They cut off money for foreign aid which the Secretary of State had to restore.

This has happened in many departments. This is incompetence. There is also fraud, such as repeatedly calling an $8 million savings $8 billion and claiming to have saved $55 billion while the Wall Street Journal says the savings is $2.6 billion. If the Trump administration really wants to get rid of waste and fraud it should begin with firing Elon Musk and his team of incompetents and frauds.
