The big flaw here is you placing any faith and trust that Elon et all are acting in good faith and truly have a desire to do right by the American people.
Shutting down USAID was the richest man in the world deciding the poorest people in the world do not deserve food and medecine.
There are people in a famine in Sudan that will starve as a direct consequence of Elon Musk’s actions at the behest of Donald Trump.
And you think that man might have an altruistic reason for wanting to access the entirety of the treasury department data.
USAID accounts for 1% of the US government’s budget - how is eliminating that at all consequential to reigning in spending?
OSHA accounts for 0.0000537322% of the federal budget at $362,800,000.
The federal spending for 2024 was $6.752 trillion.
The department of defense requested $842 billion for 2024. Want to guess if they got it?
There are obvious places to look for excess goverment spending. Completely gutting agencies that barely amount to a rounding error in the budget is not going to accomplish anything.
They are not acting in good faith. Take the blinders off. These are not good people trying to do the right thing for America.
And just in case you missed this earlier:
The richsst man in the world decided the poorest people in the world do not deserve food and medecine.
Edit to add: the budget numbers were the best I could do researching from my cellphone but I am quite confident in the dispropotionate funding for the one department no one is discussing reigning in spending for.
Yeah but what if the car crash is happening no matter what and you can’t do anything about it because it killed someone in the way in so you gotta way for the police to do their thing.
May as well dust the china cabinet. Don’t wanna let people think I allow a dusty house.

That is confoundingly naive.
The attorney general for USAID was investigating Starlink in the Ukraine.
Elon shut down USAID.
Tesla Received Triple the Amount of OSHA Complaints Than the 10 Largest US Car Factories Combined
OSHA is in their sites to dismantle next.

We were talking about the DOD in one of these other comments somewhere.
I doubt they will be thoroughly checking for loose spending in many departments. I’ll take some cleaning house vs 0 cleaning house.
Pretty easy to say when you’re not the one dying as a result.
This is like dusting the china cabinet while ignoring a giant hole in the wall from someone crashing their car through it.
More akin to dusting the china cabinet with a hammer while ignoring the missing wall behind it.
Yeah but what if the car crash is happening no matter what and you can’t do anything about it because it killed someone in the way in so you gotta way for the police to do their thing.
