But that resignation was part of a larger deal. If the deal is thrown out, shouldn't the resignation be thrown out too?

And what happens when you try to come back to work? Will Musk pay you or allow you into the office? He literally has control of the federal budget for payments now.

We are getting into banana republic territory now with no rule of law.

I definitely wouldn't put it past Elon Musk to offer a buyout, collect a list of names who "accept" and then fire them all as disloyal, without any buyout. It would be on-character.

Specifically we're getting into territory where political actors choose to behave like there is no rule of law, in hopes they will be believed.

Not sure about that one. Nor do I think the election would have gone the way it did if people generally figured their choice was to have Elon Musk's word be law, and everything else including the Constitution to be thrown away as old hat.

I really don't think people priced that into their decision, so buyer's remorse becomes a real factor. People may demand that rule of law not be thrown away.
