a smaller-scale draining of the swamp

Commentators had been dialing back the percentage figure re: how many Twitter employees were being fired by Elon Musk. At the beginning, it was 75% being fired, then the percentage went down to 50%, but now, it appears to be back up to 75% again.

The swamp in Washington is unimaginably vast and deep, but if Musk is able to do a smaller-scale swamp drainage for Twitter, well, at least that's something. For DC, at this point, the only plausible solution is a totally unexpected nuke, a moving of the capital to somewhere else—preferably somewhere rural—and a rebuilding of the government from the ground up. And even that wouldn't bring with it any guarantees.
