This will not turn out how Musk, Trump, Republicans and conservatives think it will.<p>Remember the "Canadian Pharmacy" spamming 2000-2010? Right after the Soviet Union collapsed and all their spies and hackers were out on the street, with no prospects of a good job.
After the Vietnam war, in the 1970s, there was a big RIF (reduction in force) at places like the NSA.<p>These agencies have not had a reduction since then and are oversized and wrongly sized.<p>The same issue faced the US Army prior to WWII. Roosevelt's solution was to find a young general (he found Marshal) and have him get rid of the dead wood because it was expected we'd be in a war in a couple of years.<p>Marshal created the "plucking commission" and got rid of a lot of dead wood. This put the US in a much better position to fight a war.
