The threat of Musk should not be underestimated.
He needs to be gone gone gone, however it happens.

A SpaceX rocket exploded in January, leading to FAA safety violation fines.

Elon Musk threatened to sue the agency. Shortly after, on inauguration day, the FAA administrator resigned. [Musk had previously publicly called for him to be fired.]

Now the FAA's commercial spaceflight office, which is responsible for licensing commercial rocket launches and ensuring public safety around them, could be next on the DOGE chopping block.

All told, when Trump was sworn into office, Musk’s six corporations were under more than 32 continuing investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of these cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the agencies that initiated them are being defanged by Musk and Trump.

Which means Musk’s corporations are worth far more because they are no longer restrained by the government. And as their major shareholder, Musk is the big winner.

See the problem here?
