I bet Elon Musk could fire 80% of Twitter's workforce, and none of the Twitter subscribers would notice any difference in their daily Twitter experience.
Same with the bloated Federal Government. Keep the people who are not furloughed during shutdowns, and fire the rest.

I just had a long reply typed to this, then somehow lost it all. Damn.
Quickly now...
On your first point, one of my closest friends owns a company thatās contracted by some of the tech giants along the lines of whom you named. Iām being very careful with my words here. He himself is a recognized prodigal genius in his field and likely the only person with his skillset that these companies ever utilize. They seem to trust him immensely and he has witnessed many things that an outsider who is less valuable to them probably would not have seen.
And according to him, that number of useless fluff workers is closer to 99.5 percent.
Myself, Iām recently-retired from the federal government. Iād say your 80 percent guess is correct. I met some useless federal humans at offices all over the world, and I was perplexed at how they were hired, let alone still employed. The only rationalā yet not ethicalā explanation I could think of was that politiciansā relatives couldnāt land a job elsewhere and were given the roles as favors.
Iāll never forget being left alone for the first time at a certain gigantic DoJ administrative building. I was led to a huge room with archived paper files (this was decades ago) to search for what I needed. I was told that I should go to the āsuper-eliteā internal secretary office if I needed anything. I was told the smartest and most resourceful people were there, but to be extra polite if I needed anything because they were always so busy.
I found myself working with my files just outside of that office. I spent about two days at the project tables directly outside of it. The women inside never knew I was there.
I heard zero productive activity of any kind. What I did hear were endless hours of talk about fictional soap operas mixed in with whoās having an affair with whom within the building, graphic sexual stories, and more. Those were allegedly the best of the best of ācompetentā secretaries, paid with US taxpayersā money.

Stickyās seat began vibrating, a resonant warning from deep inside the British Commonwealth Legion high-speed fighting vehicle, a Marathon HSFV. Then the gunner felt the closing Chinese bot swarm almost in her teethāas if the sound were coming from her and the crew, not a fast-approaching enemy.
