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.

Elon will also make more money personally than even Accenture senior managers could have ever dreamed of. He's also achieved 100% regulatory capture by simply being in a position to fire any regulators investigating his businesses. Quite an achievement.

Not sure if you are right, but it really made me laugh.

  And up and up they fly,
  as fireworks in the sky,
  screeching ever higher,
  towards their inevitable bang,
  a great ball of fire,
  a last flash of yang,
  before relentless gravity,
  indifferent to hubris,
  brutally ends this crisis,
  and restores back harmony.
