What people fail to realize, if a program was cheap and efficient, private industry would have delivered a long time ago. Government is left with delivering the most costliest and burdensome programs that private industry refuses or ignores to deliver. Not only that, but to prevent fraud these programs need dozens of audits along with a labyrinth set of rules that a normal company would ignore for the sake of efficiency. So it is like shooting fish in a barrel for someone to complain about government waste and inefficiency. Quite often the people complain will also provide solutions which will, wait for it..... reduce rules and increase fraud.
If one's intent is to rid users who criticize you, it is best not to draw attention to the fact you canceled their access. What does Elon do? He draws additional attention, extends the news cycle for his dastardly actions, and as a bonus, adds more evidence he can't be trusted. One can't help to imagine, in his own mind, he is so proud of himself for pulling another fast one on the media.
Gov. inefficiency is a feature, not a bug.
