    I don’t think you’d say the same about me taking a sledgehammer to your head. That’s what Elon did to a lot of agencies.

    Oh, and he’s not enabling a fascist government. He is the fascist government.

          Except killing an agency you might not kill a single person, while killing a person you kill a person.

            Or you might kill hundreds or thousands, because the agency was crucial for ensuring safety standards. But Elon would never kill such an agency right?

            Anyways, you’re not getting the point. If I remove the most vital parts of an agency, it’s not an agency anymore. You can’t just go “uhhh, maybe it’s a bad agency if it doesn’t survive massive cuts”, just like you would not blame a human for not surviving severe damage.

              OK. It’s not what I meant, rather that all state institutions should be “nomad formations”, so to say - possible to kill and build again in a couple of weeks without touching the rest. But that’s probably off topic and I’m just too nervous a few last days.
