I don't think anybody is against optimizing government agenesis and their spending. People question the motives behind it. This is clearly done with ideological intentions, because Elon and Trump thinks that the big government in itself is a problem – as all fascists do. When you remove all government agencies and replace them with corporate interest you get what Mussolini called Corporatism but what we now know as fascism:

Leaving motives aside, I question the process. There doesn't appear to be any cohesive plan or vision. It's all slash-and-burn, damn the consequences. I'd like to see a plan put together and put before Congress. The Republicans have the majority, so they can ultimately do what they want. But it would at least provide an opportunity to review the consequences, so we don't have an "oh shit" moment when some critical service fails.

Their approach is breathtakingly reckless.
