I think he'll ultimately end up doing that, but he doesn't have to. He can just ignore rulings, golf, and leave the rest to Elon. That's what fascist dictators do.

If you have a plan, I'd love to hear it.

I just don't think he cares about that at all. Why would he? He has no interest in governing or following the law of the country he is dismantling.

will write and interpret law independently. And since he controls the formerly independent Justice Dept, there is (as predicted) no actual legal systems left in place to stop him from robbing us blind and burying whatever remains of the nation.
