Marc Andreessen pointed to Elon Musk's text to Twitter's old CEO as an example of how federal workers could be held accountable for their time.

Elon Musk has shared his own disbelief that the government efficiency department Donald Trump tapped him to lead “is real.” The world’s richest man and SpaceX owner, who holds billions of dollars in government contracts through his companies, appeared to mock the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in a post on X.

The department wouldn't be a department at all, but an outside group that can likely only make suggestions — unless Trump tries to axe current laws.

Elon Musk’s DOGE will advise on gutting federal departments and which staff should be fired if it deems they are a ‘massive waste’
