Sure (although Trump's legitimacy to be in the position to do this kind of stuff is also suspect, but that's just me looking from across the Atlantic) but that doesn't make things necessarily legitimate.
Musk being in a position to do this due to Trump appointment doesn't imply that this ought to be a case, or that this is proper. Thus critique.
