Elon Musk and Trump's layoff plan: Is it really just about reducing costs?Firstly, it can be seen from these plans that they all seem to want to reduce costs through significant layoffs, but is this approach really feasible?Secondly, layoffs in enterprises may improve efficiency in the short term, but the government is different from enterprises. The government's function is to serve the public and ensure social order. Excessive layoffs will inevitably lead to a decline in service quality.Thirdly, Musk's proposal to lay off 70% to 80% of government personnel is simply astonishing. How will the government maintain normal operations?Fourthly, the operation of the government not only relies on the number of personnel, but also requires professional skills and experience accumulation. Excessive layoffs may lead to talent loss.Fifthly, in addition, the salary system of government personnel also has its own particularities, and cannot be simply compared with enterprise employees. arbitrary salary increases or decreases may lead to a series of problems.Sixth, what is the true purpose behind these plans? Is it to improve efficiency, or is there another hidden reason? This is worth pondering deeply.Seventh, in short, any reform should be based on the public interest and should not blindly pursue short-term benefits at the expense of long-term interests.Personal opinion: Although Musk and Trump's plans are noteworthy, we should approach them rationally and not blindly follow the trend, let alone ignore the fundamental functions of the government in pursuit of short-term benefits$ ELF
