Musk doesn't belong in government efficiency

Musk doesn't seem to have a record of efficiency
with his internet investments. He spent an enormous
sum of money on twitter, greater enriching it's old
and corrupt management, when it would have been
much cheaper to have started a competing social media
company by scratch: his throwing away the twitter
name and changing it to X just reinforces the point.

Government Efficiency can require thinking out of
the box and Musk did not do so in his personal actions
but squandered billions of dollars to reinforce the
unwritten "rule" that there should only be a handful
of media outlets and they must not be competed against.

What the fictitious Musk, a supposed hero to free speech,
could have been to have started X as a competitor
to twitter, to put out a free play of ideas and to
strengthen the apparently "radical" notion of
newcomers competing with established powers. But no,
the profligate didn't want to compete because the
rest of the media would have attacked him and he
apparently is afraid of being mocked as a troublemaker.

Same goes with Bezos buying the Washington Post.
Zillions of dollars but not a competitor but a
rent seeker.

These are profligates, not efficiency experts.
