Won’t work for whom?
> Musk has since gained unprecedented power over the United States for an unelected person.
Seems to be working pretty well for him, then. Why do you assume he cares about anyone else?
> The government moves more like Star Trek's Lower Decks Cerritos on a bad day.
> If you've watched the show
Have you? Because the one thing that is absolutely clear from it is that every member of that crew cared for it to succeed as a whole, and worked together for the greater good. It was nothing like the US government. The Cerritos on its worse day was miles ahead the US government on its best.
> I think anyone can agree that while "move fast and break things" may work in technology
No, we cannot. It doesn’t work in tech either if you care about anything other than a quick buck at the expense of everything else.
America voted democratically for Trump, who promised to reduce government waste and fraud and corruption - and that is exactly what is going on.
That is, at best, a highly subjective point of view. Considering the mass exodus of people and governments and company accounts, it’s hard to make the point everyone thinks Twitter has improved.

The acquisition was in 2022.

In other words, your one example of Musk improving Twitter wasn’t even his initiative.
Trump is certainly not reducing waste and corruption. He's reallocating the waste to better benefit his cronies, and he's filled the government with corrupt people who are working for their own benefit at the expense of the citizenry.
He gave a platform for conspiracy theorists and fascists, so they're probably happy.
But for everyone else it turned into shit.
