Elon doesn’t like it when things are slow and difficult, so maybe he’ll get bored and find something else to amuse his sadistic little mind.
He should buy TikTok, might be a good distraction while he finds a way to destroy that platform too.
I use it, but I wouldn’t even be mad. It would only take the slightest push to delete the app and be done.

It wasn’t my first thought, but I wouldn’t be shedding any tears.
We can hope.
It takes a truly bureaucratic mind—someone with a sensibility for relentless, daily tedium—to dismantle bureaucracy.
Democracy, by contrast, is far easier to unravel than state bureaucracy. Bureaucratic systems often outlast governments, as seen with the colonial administrations in Africa and South Asia. Bureaucracy is designed to be “portable” across different regimes and transfers of power.
Elon is likely facing a long and tiresome road ahead—one he’ll almost certainly abandon in some spectacularly embarrassing fashion within two months. Bureaucracy endures because it’s so deeply embedded in the everyday, utterly quotidian and entwined with, like, everything.
You know when you put it like that, I can see just a glimpse of why Hermes (futurama) likes it so much. I hope you are right and that beurocracy spares us the worst of his bullshit

He’s a spoiled nepo baby.
Is the first hurdle that this new agency doesn’t exist at all, and that he has zero authority at the moment?
It never will. Federal agencies are created by acts of Congress. And we already have the Government Accountability Office for audits.
That literally doesn’t matter if trump listens to him
I wonder what the “there was never a DNC vote for Harris” people are doing now that a billionaire gets to meddle in the US budget without being elected
Probably feeling pretty smug and saying I told you so. They were right, without a primary to get a candidate that voters wanted the DNC lost. It’s up to the candidate to earn the voters.
Can you point to a time when the US budget hasn’t been meddled with by unelected billionaires? They fund all these candidates precisely because they want to meddle with this stuff without having the responsibility of holding office or being held accountable for their actions.
