Even this is a charitable description of what they did. It seems like it was more of a data exfiltration play, forcing their way into agencies' IT departments with armed thugs and scraping data to be joined and shared with ICE, etc. Possibly the Russians if that one whistleblower is to be believed.
On the other hand, i think comments like this illustrate how frustrated people are. It is also exactly the opportunity people like Musk (or worse) will grab to gain more power.
Not frustrated enough to actually bother to check if Trump exploded the deficit during his first term and think hey is he going to do this again? Or hey, Musk says he's going to save 2 trillion but never clarified how; maybe he's not a reliable source.
Frustration without thinking just leads to more frustration.
There's a lot wrong with the EU but at least that particular scenario is, fortunately, impossible. Still somewhat possible at the national level where the real power lies, such as Orban.
