    Trump/Musk see that as a win/win.

    They don’t want government to function. Whether it’s gutted or shut down makes no difference to them.

      I think this is something that a lot of people don’t understand, that whether the Republicans and the billionaires behind them take over everything or get to fill a power vacuum they get what they want either way, uncontested control and the freedom to loot America for its scrap.
