Has There Already Been a Coup?

I have two kinds of friends. Those whose heads have exploded...and those who expect their heads will explode in the next few months. For the former, the coup has already taken place. Elon Musk and his naughty boys have hacked the government. There's no force strong enough to stop them. For the latter, the illegal hijack attempt has been blocked, momentarily, by the courts. The results will be decided, eventually, by the Supreme Court. One hopes, for the sake of the remaining craniums of my beloved friends, this will happen soon.
