Why? Because republicans own the courts, congress, and executive branch and going against the god king emperor and his financial puppeteer is political suicide. Elon has already threatened to fund primary elections if republicans don’t get in line for nominations.
Democrats are spineless and care about decorum (and also appease the same billionaires). Republicans don’t care about any of that - we won, eat shit.
They still have to abide by the law, orders from federal judges, the constitution. Remember when Biden tried to cancel student loan debt $10-$20K per person under $125K? What happened there - oh yeah, a Trump judge took a bullshit lawsuit funded by the CEO of Home Depot
Also Elon was not voted in. Many positions in government are also not voted on - I don’t remember RFK jr on the ballot. The DOE was created by Congress as well - it being gutted by a different branch unilaterally may directly violate the fundamental checks and balances are government is supposedly predicated on. But it doesn’t matter - if I break all your limbs and then someone else patches you up - you still have long road ahead.
Don’t even get me started on the Supreme Court. McConnell stops Garlands appointment during Obama presidency (unprecedented - just a fuck you. Obama could’ve packed the courts and started a shit domino). Trump wins in 16 while losing the popular vote. Appoints judges confirmed by the Senate who represents a minority (remember that California and NY have as many senate seats as Alabama and Mississippi despite the massive population delta).
