After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in. Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then. 🧵
It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

I was waiting for this to happen. Folks have so far been focused on how to make robocars work when other drivers are human. Nobody has much considered emergent and flocking behaviors when they are all robots and interacting primarily with each other.
