No matter HOW MUCH he CRIES about how REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT it was, Yoda NAILED it...There is no try, only do.

9. He Still Thinks The Goal Is A Trillion?

That's pathetic. He needs to remove 2 zeroes from that, then maybe he'll achieve 50% of his "goal".
At this point, any savings they claim are actually close to zero, with costs incurred to achieve those "savings" offset the saved cash.
They've been lying the whole time.
How much waste & fraud existed was a lie.
How much they'd be able to catch was a lie.
The savings they claimed; a lie.
Finally, Musk's companies aren't paragon of financially efficiency. There are CAR companies that have unit costs lower as a percentage of sales than Tesla & lots of manufacturing firms that do.
There was never a reason to believe that this guy had the skills to increase operational efficiency, or anybody that works for him. His very appointment to this effort was based on a lie.
The whole thing is a sham. They claimed to be going after fraud, when the fraud was the effort.
