You have quite the imagination. Your fantasy of Musk's competence is unmoored from reality

So, remove the checks and balances that were already put in place over decades to make sure employees are spending responsibly. Um, sure.

With the employee cards, all the transactions are traceable and can be monitored with a minimum of red tape. How exactly would one improve upon that? It's literally the technologically-enabled solution.

Do you shut down your entire business before rolling out a new system?

If you want to save money and remove bureaucracy, you first create a system, then migrate to it and sort out issues, then remote the old system. Now it's going to take months to get something new in place, while also juggling manual approvals and getting things through payment systems individually.

Wouldn't it be prudent to do that before rolling out such a change?

while you imagine this, let's waste order of magnitudes more in red tape, that is if your imagination and DOGE's imagination are in the same place.

Re-discovering why things worked the way they did (waste, corruption, and fraud prevention) is gonna be fun.

You think they would have mentioned that in the memo if they were.
