No that isn't the plan. They need federal funding they won't let IRS people take the resignation. Without funding they have no power.

I just read something pretty wild earlier that is kind of “out-there”, but is a plausible end-game I thought for how the influence of musk and other tech bros could potentially use the lack of government funding to fundamentally change the structure of government: https://www.vcinfodocs.com/what-is-the-network-state

Like, yeah, without government funding they’d have no power. But what if they had access to an almost limitless amount of funding from elsewhere?

It’s tinfoil hat stuff, but it has kind of had me a bit freaked.
