I'm sure he's trying his best. But I don't doubt that, even if not doing it on purpose, he will mostly cut departments and services that do not hurt him or indirectly benefit any of his many businesses.
He, a single person, has far too much control of our system.
Lets just then let it slide?
Thats not how it works.
Btw. i think having the richest man in the world in his current position is very very unique.

And already has a number of lawsuits started because he's trying to do things neither he nor the president are allowed to do. Getting an EO to do something doesn't mean it's automatically legal. Multiple big decisions have already been reverted or are held until judges can review them. Even things like the promised payout for quitting are not practical, because only congress can approve the money for that.

There's lawsuits naturally as lawfare is a normal part of modern politics. All the laws necessary to do payouts for voluntary separation already exist, as long as it fits within the budgetary appropriations already set by Congress.
They are auditing as part of their process of cutting costs. They're literally tracing trillions of dollars in financial records.
