they won't throw away the constitution; they'll modify it and a whole range of laws and rules that will enable musk and a bunch of other things that will become permanent from now on.

Can’t modify the constitution without a convention, a constitutional convention needs 2/3 of the states to agree to the changes IIRC, that’s why there hasn’t been an amendment passed in a very long time.

Assuming they follow the rule of law, which they likely won’t.

The supreme court can just reinterpret the rules for them.

can implies will because they always do whatever they can to support their very partisan agenda.

Independent judiciary, my ass.
