    I think nothing will come of this. Trump can't just declare a new government department into existence. I honestly doubt anything will come of it, Musk will piss Trump off and Trump will get rid of him and that'll be the end of that.

      If no one stops him he can do whatever he wants. This is gonna be the worst kind of interesting.

      Congress will do whatever he asks.

        and even if they had to use reconciliation to bypass the filibuster the republicans unfortunately have no problem shoving the senate paramanchurian in a locker unlike the dorks on the dem side of the aisle

      the only thing potentially stopping him is the MIC and intelligence apparatus so im doubtful we'll see any seismic change in those parts of the us govt that most deserve to be cut to ribbons but it only serves their purposes if he can blow up what remains of education and social safety nets without much destabilizing backlash. it's still just "advisory" to the omb which still goes through congress but it would take liberals fighting republicans like they fight vaguely left of center 'progressives' and im skeptical of their willingness to do that
