Most people misunderstand what's really going on at the federal level. The federal government is a conglomerate of corporations (all listed on Dunn & Bradstreet), and the parent corporation has been forced into chapter 11 bankruptcy, and is also absorbing the debts of the District of Columbia municipal corporation's chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Musk is merely auditing and liquidating all the subsidiary corporations at the order of the bankruptcy court. That is why no federal judge is able to shut him down. Musk is walking into agencies with a court order and cannot be stopped.

Gotta remember - Trump was the king of bankruptcies. He had several very large corporations of his own go under.

When Musk and Trump are done, the federal government will be very lean indeed.

Huh? None of that makes any sense to me, starting from the premise. Feel free to explain in a way that matches commonly-understood notions of history, law and instituons.
