My humble prediction is that doge Elon’s main contribution to the federal government will be forcing a bunch of private sector inefficiencies on it.

I'm wondering how much damage they can actually do, without it getting bogged down in federal judge blocking and legal battles and such.

That's the funny side. These Muppets don't seem to get that you can't have neoliberal deregulation without a robust state. You know that if a left wing party ever gained power the bureaucracy would resist every step of the way. It'll be no different when that same bureaucracy eats and sees itself being eaten. The hidden-power-level zealots might be keen. Until someone lays them off under the same programme. Chaos under the heavens.
