Yep. If Musk or at least one or more of his DogeBags doesn't end up with some extra holes or thrown out of window within the next four years, I'd be surprised, for all the reasons you say.
I'm sure most of the Deep State leans hard right, and I bet most federal workers probably tend to be all over the map, despite what idiots like Steve Bannon say. I'm sure some of the hard right types think it's hilarious to see fElon fucking with liberals to "own them" by destroying various departments that the more idiotic and clueless right doesn't care very much about [1].
But he and "bigballs" or whatever the fuck his incel DogeBags call themselves are doing much, much more than just "owning the libs" and I'm sure it's pissing off people that have some real dangerous skills and tools and will not forget easily....fElon and his boiz are the types that are completely unable to read the room, thinking that everyone is cheering them on, when they are just smiling, and sharpening their knives, and waiting for the right moment to strike, and not necessarily figuratively....
[1] Like USAID - dipsticks like fElon probably had no clue it's about soft power. I bet there are people within the Deep State that know this and are seething mad about it, and are actually far right. fElon might have stepped on a rake w/o realizing it right from the jump, by picking something he thought was going to have no real defenders on the right (because it's about white people giving black people money or whatever, in their minds).
