The article critiques Elon Musk's profound impact on the functioning of the US government, suggesting a shift towards a tech-centric work culture characterized by extreme hours and dismantling existing frameworks. Drawing from the author's background in both tech journalism and government work, it emphasizes the challenges of applying Silicon Valley's ethos to the federal landscape, particularly the unrealistic expectations of long hours devoid of tangible financial incentives, as well as the potential pitfalls of merging tech philosophies with government operations.
Musk’s changes to the federal government are marked by a tech culture that values long hours and immediate results—a stark contrast to traditional government work.
With Musk’s approach, there’s a push towards dismantling older structures and enforcing a tech-driven work ethic, which may not align with government employees’ realities.
