Always with the whataboutery. Even if what you say were true, it's just a distraction now.

One has to put destruction in context.
The tech Bros are playing in a system giving to them by admins of all stripes.

And having g done extremely, in fact, unimaginably well in that system, they feel intolerably restricted and want to tear the system down. If I had a time machine and could go back and shoot one person, I'm not sure now whether it would be Hitler, or Ayn Rand.

Not just his Tech Bros but his MAGA cult too like what Trump is doing, canning federal workforce, slashing foreign aid and even more importantly, they actually his nominees.
Guess they will not know the damage till they are hurt in their own pocketbooks. But as long as grievance and revenge dominates the headlines, nothing elese would matter to them. Not to worry, Faux will make sure of that.

That's why I looked for actual news stories related to it for confirmation before posting.

Anyhow, the guys who destroyed US in these modern times are Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. They gave away the store.

Thiel, Andreesen and the like have been quite clear about their dream of a government-free utopia. There are oodles of articles and interviews on the subject.

Judge temporarily blocks Trump's federal government employee buyout

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration and DOGE head Elon Musk from implementing their "Fork in the Road" federal employee buyout offer until at least Monday afternoon.

U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr. set a Monday afternoon hearing to consider blocking the buyout offer further.

More than two million federal employees had faced a midnight Thursday deadline to accept the Trump administration's "deferred resignation" offer as O'Toole considered an eleventh-hour request to block the buyout from moving forward.

Where this will go is anyone's guess and if this gets fast tracked to Scotus, I am betting they will side with Trump claiming that he is the de facto CEO and these are his employees. Or he can say FU and fire them all in which case there will be a deluge of lawsuits costing the government Million$ to defend and settle.

Will the Scotus touch this case if appealed?

The hole you are alluding to is the AssHole infesting the White House.

And he has dug so many caves that the handle is bent out of shape.

Of COURSE he's racist. Musk is a huge racist. Anyone working for his DOGE is racist. They all belong behind bars.
