It was all good when Slick Willy did it.

They are in hardcore ignore mode right now.
It's gonna get worse.
For the first time in 150 years they might lose some battles.
Keep pushing reality. We know what they'll be pushing.

It was a study that was conducted that could then be used to write policy through Congress. So, if Musk wants to write a paper that Trump can use to direct Congress to make policy changes, have at it. Although that's pretty much what Project 2025 was. The expectation is that you would still use legal mechanisms to actually do it with. So, no, once again the OP is found to be completely full of shit. What a surprise.

Why lie?

@BioHawk once again found to be completely full of shit.

The National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR)was a U.S. government reform initiative launched in 1993 by Vice President Al Gore. Its goal was to make the federal government "work better, cost less, and get results Americans care about".[1] The initiative aimed to streamline processes, cut bureaucracy (with a focus on overhead costs beyond issues addressable by statute), and implement innovative solutions. NPR was active until 1998. During its five years, it catalyzed significant changes in the way the federal government operates, including the elimination of over 100 programs, the elimination of over 250,000 federal jobs, the consolidation of over 800 agencies, and the transfer of institutional knowledge to contractors. NPR introduced the use of performance measurements and customer satisfaction surveys, and encouraged the use of technology including the Internet. NPR is recognized as a success and had a lasting impact according to government officials who worked on or were influenced by it under the Clinton and George W. Bushadministrations.[2][3]

It was a study that was used to guide those policy decisions, which were made through legislation through Congress. It didn't actually eliminate anything. Why are you incapable of understanding that? Read the link.
