"This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!" stated Mr. Musk
Lol, we're really gonna do Shock Therapy USA. Better make sure we're doing all the mutual aid / dual power things and buying up as many replacement parts and ammunition as we can afford. Clown country just isn't absurd enough as it is, I guess.
Musk is probably going to take it out on all the government agents who tried to regulate his operations, like FAA workers.
Also, it sounds a lot like a think tank, actually.
How does one do shock therapy on a country that not only created it, but actively promotes itself as not needing it
What do you mean? The American public has been primed to be obsessed for decades with government spending and govt debt. Slashing the state, austerity policy, etc are very realistic policy possibilities in the US

What I mean is, I thought Shock therapy is supposed to force the American ("liberalized") system on a socialist state., America already has this "liberalized" economic structure (a barely functioning social safety net, barely any SOE etc.), so they're really proposing is gutting the entire state to its bones and looting what is left for the capitalist class.
I guess that's a kind of shock therapy, a final stage of neoliberalism?
You could end social security, that's billions of dollars removed from the economy. Even excluding military and police spending there is still much spending that could be cut which would cause a huge shock.
So far its a policy that's been relegated to smaller economies (Greece, Argentina), global south economies or ones which weren't well connected with the capitalist world (Former socialist countries). It's going to be real bad if implemented in the US not just for the US but the entire world.
Btw doing the shit they did to Greece, the Germans also fucked themselves over quite a bit, though it was still fairly limited compared to what US doing it to themselves would be.

Same way fascism is colonialism and imperialism turned inwards
