Let me just say, I love Elon, I love him like how you love a retarded sibling. He's smart, funny but really fucking retarded. Elon is looking things at the short term, I'm thankful for him rooting out the corruption and inefficient spending the Government does but like I said earlier, he's a retard. You don't just remove all the branches in a tree and expect it to magically regrow in a short time. You prune the bad branches, the infected and useless ones and try to keep the cutting to a minimum while giving the tree room to grow, removing the weeds and insects and making sure the soil is nutrient rich so that it'll grow and bear fruit as intended.
