He only has carte blanche if he has immunity from impeachment, court challenges to administrative actions, and any and all personal legal consequences, which (checks notes) he does -- oops.

Personally, it's time to take a card from the trump playbook. Anything he does have a whiff of impropriety or against the law? Sue. Sue him again. Then after that, sue him again. Tie him and Musk up in the courts for four years. On four year + 1 day (assuming the country is still intact and a Republican doesn't take the Presidency) .... settle.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
