Competency yes, DEI hire NO. That's one of the main problems. The left wants stupid, controllable people so the gravy train keeps rolling. They don't want Trump nor would they want any other competent business person.
My solution would first be to eliminate at least 50% of the bureaucracy from every department the first year and hire ex CEO's with track records of success and cost cutting. Then eliminate 5% more workers each year over the 4 year term. Four years later you have 35% of the original workforce consisting mostly of the essential people only. Government is the only place where it takes 8 people to push a piece of paper across the table and another 8 to file it away. Eliminating that kind of waste is big. Then with the people left you give them bonuses for finding ways to making things more efficient and reducing head count even more.
To do that you'd have to outlaw unions for government employees. They're the big problem in that they always want more hires doing less getting paid more. Those days need to end. I'm sure Elon Musk will do well in sniffing out waste fraud and abuse. He'll also know how and what to automate so taxpayers get the best bang for their dollar.
