Now is the perfect time for this.

For starters it takes years to sell into government any way. If he writes his first line of code today they might have a sellable product ready in a year. Then getting FEDRAMP accredited and going through procurement cycles probably another year or so.

I think the current administration is likely open to technology-first solutions to reduce friction in government, and the next administration is likely going to have to take a similar approach too.

The facts are they are actively working to introduce more friction, red tape, waste, and dysfunction into the government. Making the government more effective and efficient is the opposite of their goals stated in Project 2025.

He didn't say whether he working on a technology solution. That's possible, but I was assuming he was heading towards a more philanthropic approach (which is the ideal end state for a wealthy person).

Maybe! Still a great time though my attitude is pretty much "any time is a great time" for starting something.

People really need to stop believing the lies they're using to "justify" their actions in public.

More friction, mistakes, and inefficiencies are the point here. Lookup "Starve the Beast".

They have very openly stated the purpose of this is to destroy government institutions to get back at "the deep state". The deep state = their enemies. It isn't about improving budget. It isn't about improving efficiency. This is just about destroying the government and harming the correct people.

All this also has the added benefit of removing regulation/oversight which is gonna let certain people(Musk, Trump, etc) fleece the government of money/power.

Trump and Elon's entire plan is to make government more inefficient to convince people that giving large chunks of public funding to private business to run government is a good idea.
