“‘Chaos.’ That seems to be America’s go-to descriptor for the federal government since January 20. Depending on who you ask, US president Donald Trump, ‘special government employee’ Elon Musk, and their ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ are either cutting a bunch of government waste and inefficiency, or gutting a bunch of useful and necessary government functionality. Some people are very sure of which, but nobody seems very clued in to how. So I asked Grok, the generative AI chatbot associated with Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) platform, to ‘suggest the most efficient organizational chart for the federal government’s executive branch.'” (02/23/25)
