The danger for consulting companies is that Elon is using their strategies with even more arrogance, even younger and poorly-qualified consultants, even less understanding of the what they're wrecking, and even more contrived metrics to make decisions.
DOGE is the accelerationist end-state of the consultant economy.

Consulting companies destroy valuable institutional knowledge and make the government less effective, so I'm onboard in theory.
The flipside of removing them is you now need to hire experts/specialists to do the work properly, not fire them...

I really see no problem in posing a danger for consulting companies.

Hopefully they will all come out weaker from mutual fight.

I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't able to jockey into a position that sees their continued success. That's what they are good at right?

I keep asking myself when HN will stop censoring everything about Musk

OK, why is this flagged?!? It's from the Economist for god's sake, I can't help but feel the reason why it got flagged was because it was critical of Musk?

Pay wall but headline has me in high spirits. Good riddance, Elon remains a fart face but anything that hurts the blight that is these consultancies is welcome.
