Regardless of Musk's political acumen or suitability, the concept of a DoGE is an excellent idea. The administrative state in this country has run amok with very little apparent accountability.
I agree that just being rich and successful in business does not make you a shoo-in for politics. And I agree that Musk is different. But we have watched him flip flop too much and react emotionally rather than logically. I HOPE he will be good in his new role but I have my fears.
You're leaving out possibly another key thing he did shortly before this. He caught his own firestorm a week earlier when he opened his mouth and inserted his foot on a different (some would argue in the same ballpark, though) topic. The heck he was catching for that very well could have played into him taking up this issue and pushing it to the forefront. Don't get twisted, though. It's still very much needed brought up and attention on it, I'm not arguing that. This is clearly a net positive for the victims etc.

Musk definitely had a mask off moment regarding H1B's.

Musk is definitely smart enough to realize that the H1B dialectic was wasn't good for him, so he changed topic in the most dramatic way.
Hes just in a room by himself isn’t he. He’s not talking to anyone but he can easily be reading this off a prompter, good technique.
