Take a triple bottom line solution to the problem.
Take a look at how kmalloc_obj is going in DragonFly BSD.
Government IT challenges three technical team leads to get to solution like kmalloc_obj. Performance pays for 1st prize and the rest get less money. Cut the time horizon from start to finish for the piece work to 18-months. Spread the risk of total failure to zero.

Elon's leadership drive and capital had the catalyzing effect. Without Elon, all the capital in the world would've gone into laggy bureaucratic procurement and project management pie in the sky bridges to nowhere. ARPA might've done what today's DARPA/NASA does not do.

Apple's ARM M1 is less likely to have x86 insanity in the architecture due to 286/386 legacy for purists that appreciate what's under the hood is really nice. The AMD/Intel SEE/FRED initiative, for example.

A team of six or eight should have a dedicated scribe to link everything that is going on in one coherent whole. That role functions as the interface to the team and onboards new team member when people move on. A team without a scribe creates a new opening for that role for a noob to learn by doing.

Having three horses in the race competing for the stated goal is a better bet for results you can at least compare the pro/cons of their approaches to. At next iteration, fuse the best parts and recompete towards the stated goal.

The LM Goliath needs to put up actual performance figures under scientificly rigorous scrutiny for comparison to substantiate those claims against enthusiast driven technology (not marketing, PR) or shutup. And, factor in dollars a bang for every block of technical excellence performing in the source code.

Needs a supervisor for cheeky monkey curve ball playful question to interpret answer on gradient of seriousness from thousands of mind model with access to knowledge library and language as commonly used. The part before "on" doesn't sound out of place from a template for language exchange in a butcher's shop and "on Moon" is a playful reframing adjusting the physics model. A child lucky to have a parent with training in physics would get an answer easy to this question.
