Lol, it's how Musk rolls Pinty, he's publically talked about his methodolgy, it goes something like this..... Delete, delete, delete and if one deletes too much then undo delete a little until nukes back under control!.
I'm not sure if they realised the nuke peeps would be deleted and a 2 day fix is ok, it's just a style of minimising rather than maximising, testing the reduction limits i guess plus if you don't push a little too far sometimes your not trying hard enough, one has to push the limit to find the line and hone skills, it the samesort of methodology when i was learning butchering, the boss use to say to me if you don't cut yourself now and then your not trying hard enough.!
