Over at the UnPopulist, people calling themselves classical liberals or libertarians are claiming that 1) Musk is fully entitled to do whatever he's doing as long as Trump says he can; and 2) he is heroically finding waste & fraud so we can get back to a proper constitutional system; and 3) how dare anyone accuse him of doing anything illegal or dishonorable.
And that's apparently not from super-MAGAs who think everything Trump does is awesome.
Many people who know more about the law than I do say that what Musk is doing is, in fact, unlawful and dangerous. And I think a person has to be naive or willfully self-deluding to be confident of his good intentions or respect for law. But unfortunately, a lot of Americans - not all of them MAGA rubes - see the villains in our current situation as heroes.
