In fact, the US government is also very corrupt. Especially the Ministry of National Defense is estimated to be a holy land of corruption. Many equipment items actually do not require any special suppliers, and civilian ones are completely acceptable. However, military carpets priced at thousands of dollars or coffee cups priced at hundreds of dollars can all appear in the Pentagon's budget. When Musk was building rockets, the biggest cost reduction was to discard the vast majority of expensive and unnecessary parts, because many parts of rockets do not require expensive special materials at all. For example, if the manufacturing materials for rockets are directly changed from composite materials to stainless steel, what kind of high-tech and convoluted thing are you talking about - aluminum alloy and carbon fiber composite materials?? The rocket can be directly made of 301 stainless steel and can be launched 20 times. Recently, I looked at DOGE's law enforcement introduction and found that there are not as many professional teams as you might imagine, with only six talented programmers recruited. They don't pay a penny and all use AI to identify and audit accounts. The six programmers write code every day and update algorithms for various audits. When you use simple, lotus root solving, and direct to the essence methods to deal with problems. Any advanced technology or rigorous organization may not seem as powerful as you think. The world is truly a huge grass platform team.
