1. Musk wasn't elected.
2. Musk's merry band of misfit incels wasn't elected.
3. Government offices are created by statute, and they're terminated by statute.
As I've said elsewhere, Musk and the Doge employees only have audit power - not executive. There's a very big difference between those types of powers.
Musk is not terminating any executive departments or agencies. Neither is Trump (except perhaps some that are not statutory).
USAID still exists. It clearly wasn't obeying its statutory mandate -- that's what gives Trump the authority to bring its current activities to an end and fire a lot of its employees. It will likely be ended by Congress after what's been revealed, but we'll have to wait and see.

You've said this, but it's obvious that's not what they're doing, and no one is attempting to stop them. Literally unchecked corruption. Musk should be in prison for this - it's very close to treason.
