This is democracy! You can say it’s a bad idea or whatever. But Trump had Musk on stage promising to do this then we elected him. That’s democracy. Tyranny of the majority.

Democracy involves rule of law.

In a sense, but not in the sense of all the political branches having to run every decision by lawyers and judges.

So judicial review is out too?

There have been electoral fraud and a massive disinformation campaign operated by a foreign country. This is not democracy.
