We were told at the meeting at the White House with Mr. Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency that Some agencies are finding out that they're paying for as many as 37,000 software licenses, but only about 10,000 employees are responsible for functions that require those licenses. 37,000 licenses, but only 10,000 arguably would be required. Now think about what this means for a minute. And again, this is just a symptom, I think, of a larger problem. (10:36–10:51)
