AI will definitely, without a doubt, make executive decisions. It already makes lower level decisions. The company that runs the AI, can be held accountable. (meaning less likely OpenAI or the foundational LLM, but more likely the company calling LLMs that make decisions on car insurance, etc...)

Corruption skyrockets when:
- Safety checks are dismantled
- Decisions are made at the whim of an executive
- Executives surround themselves with sycophants
We have a worldwide internet service now.
We have electric vehicles (something that would not have happened without TSLA)
On the other side, the corruption is obvious with billions spent on 8 EV chargers.

Actual debt won't get smaller, but reported debt can get smaller when they fire whoever is responsible for reporting that.
Firing is what is needed, but it won't happen for people that report spending, it will happen for those that hide it.

Any remotely serious attempt to balance the budget will have to involve serious cuts to some or all of Defense, Medicare, and Social Security; along with tax increases, either new taxes or closing loopholes. Trump and Elon are completely uninterested in doing any of those things, and are in fact going to make them worse.
Indiscriminately firing federal workers whose salaries will collectively make up maybe one tenth of one percent of the budget is not at all about reducing debt, that's just the thin justification they are using the destroy any independence and competence within the government that might get in the way of their looting and corruption.
Anyone who thinks that Trump and Musk are serious about reducing the federal debt at this point aren't likely to be swayed by anything I say. But for anyone who genuinely believes that I hope you will look at what the national debt and deficit are right now, and then to check on them in a few years when both are dramatically worse. You will find that two of the most prominent bullshitters in the world are in fact bullshitting on this topic as well.
Easiest thing to do IMO is fund anyone that is over 18 that has paid into Social Security. Anyone younger - simple, reduce taxes to not include it. Phase that fucker out. Get rid of all but 10% of federal income tax.
Also, make all black budget projects that involve underground alien bases public and move it all private, so Elon and other people can just directly invest in those instead of coming out of our taxes through the DOD.

Is this about CBP1?

Treating employees differently is a recipe for a lawsuit. Thinking of the example you gave above.
Well no, there are some employees that are actively encouraging people to ignore the rules is different than just ignoring the rules.
Personally I think there's no chance
