Funny, when my family immigrated to America in the 1920s, they came because it was a democracy with legal processes that would protect them from autocrats. Pretty sure every citizen of the United States does not feel like Elon is suddenly their new boss who can override the will of the people, as manifested by the laws passed by Congress. Who does he think he is?

If you do, these employees do not report to congress, but instead to the White House. In which case, Musk is acting within the powers given to him by the citizens of the United States, via the elected president.
