Despite Trump affirming Cabinet authority, he warned departments to make cuts or face Musk’s intervention. Lawsuits and internal resistance continue to challenge DOGE’s sweeping changes.

This is the real meat of the article.

Musk makes changes to federal government.
Unelected private citizen and world’s richest parasite, so trump’s government is facing a swathe of lawsuits and they are afraid.
Trump orders the individual departments to do “exactly as Musk would do” or else he will get someone else to do their job for them.

Basically DOGE is too much of a lawsuit magnet so he’s threatening a broad selection of faceless government departments to do the exact same thing, in the hope it’s harder to trace and sue with class action

“My legs hurt”

By repeatedly calling for arrests he’s trying to normalise this rhetoric as part of his position.

Keep reminding everyone he’s an unelected civilian with Trump on a very short leash calling for arrests of private citizens. This is never normal and is just as reprehensible the 100th time as the first time.

Keep calling it out.

And keep asking elected officials especially republicans, who seem up for sale to the highest bidder, how much you have to pay to get musk imprisoned with a long prison sentence, because we’re all willing to chip in, and we will even let them seize and keep his assets too if it removes his face and voice from every story on every feed
