How much creative destruction is enough in a Bond vs. Trump battle?

The Department of Government Efficiency is being gutted by the president of the U.S. and Elon Musk , the world's richest man on the planet.

James Bond has played a key role in shaping the world of spycraft and entertainment.

Musk should not be given carte blanche to do his job, says Musk .

He says it is totally and typically American to level an old building, block or even a whole government department.

Musk and Trump need to put on their gardening gloves and inspect the very soil in which our institutions are rooted, but it is doubtful that they will because neither one is a gardener.

Both are showmen engaged in performative art and are now sharing the stage and basking in that finite glow of the presidential honeymoon.
