Realistically, if they does face justice, it will likely be mob justice. Trump and Musk are setting themselves up to be in an incredibly physically vulnerable position. What do you think is going to happen in the DC metro area after they fire half of the federal government? The vast majority of the DC population will want to literally see their heads on pikes. And the military? They may uphold their oath to the Constitution not by removing Trump by force themselves, but simply by standing aside and letting the mob storm the gates.
The problem with running a blatantly and undeniably unconstitutional regime is that mobs of angry people will have zero moral compulsion about removing you from this world in justice outside the law.
