Part 3/7:
Turley emphasizes that the current administration aligns conveniently with Musk's methods. President Biden ran on the platform of reducing government waste and promoting efficiency—a promise that has seen little progress thus far. By bringing in someone who inherently thinks outside the box, the administration is attempting to shake up the complacency that has hindered reformative efforts in the past.
Drawing an analogy, Turley likens Musk’s role to that of a ‘badger thrown into a crowded car,’ a metaphor for the disruption Musk is expected to bring. The existing personnel and structures may have to adapt or face significant cutbacks. Though resistant to change, the bureaucratic operatives must reckon with the possibility of being challenged in the wake of Musk’s entry into their realm.
