Even with his successes (Tesla, SpaceX) he has built them up in large part by bending levers of government to his advantage.
Can you provide specific examples of where Elon has bent the levers of government?

If anything, they voted for reduced debt burden and they got the opposite. DOGE failed at pretty much every single one of the goals that the public arguably gave it a mandate for.
Ah, yes, democracy!, except for when the public is wrong.
Who decides when the public is wrong? We do! Who decides "what the public voted for"? We do! So we are the rulers? No, of course, not, this is democracy.
You want to become the decider of when the public is wrong and of what the public voted for? TYRANT! TYRANT!
This is simply epistemologically incorrect. It's obviously incorrect in this case because voters writ large do not have any idea how the government is administered and how to improve it, so even if they claimed to be voting for that, it would not necessarily be an endorsement of any particular approach.
More specifically we know it's not true in this case because there are polls. Voters didn't even claim to care about this! "How the government is administered" was not a high salience issue to voters. Simple as that.
Nonetheless, I didn't suggest anything about overriding their votes. It sounds like you have some sensitive spots to work through (someone obliquely criticizing your idol for sucking at his job?)
