Of all the wrong things Trump/Musk are doing , renaming the Gulf was arguably the most benign. But it does send a powerful signal of “I can do whatever the f I want”

Also kind of sends a signal, "I am even pettier than you imagined."

I ask again, where are the adults?

Dead. Fox News+Republican Orwellian state on one side, media competition for attention on the other.
are you sure about that? it makes it so that he can approve drilling in the gulf because it's not named the same. or at least that's his idea to subvert biden's drilling ban... we'll see if it is the case.
interesting; hadn't thought of that angle. but he could just do an EO to reverse the drilling ban, as he did with Alaska. I don't think he needs to rename the gulf of Mexico to accomplish that.
