Musk has (for now) pulled of heist that sounds like a summer blockbuster scheme: take direct control of the payment system that all US Gov't payments run through.

I guess the world's richest person still didn't have enough. I really the court orders get enforced soon or the limited trust the public has in the federal government is about to go into freefall.

Most of the people that voted for this (at least the ones I've interacted with) are happy that it's happening. They think Musk is just trimming the fat of the budget and getting rid of all the frivolous taxpayer spending.

But then, even ASSUMING THAT IS SO, why can't they see the problem in HOW it's happening. Can you imagine the outrage if, say, Biden handed the keys to the kingdom to George Soros?
