While there is no question various people associated with Trump were anxious to settle some scores in the 2nd Administration, I feel like this shock and awe approach has Musk's fingerprints all over it. The Walter Isaacson biography repeatedly points out that Musk likes to cut things to the bone in the expectation that most of it can be dispensed with, you will probably go too far and ultimately restore about 10% of what was tossed. When he bought Twitter he basically did the same thing.
At any rate, I'm all for it. There are thousands of 'non-profits' that need to be starved and ruined.
The real test will be what the foundations do. If the Ford Foundation and the rest step in to take up the slack, the NGOs will continue ther sabotage, albeit perhaps in a diminished manner. If that doesn't happen, we may be looking at an historic turning point.

The NGOs are a cancer.
It might be like Henry VIII’s attack on the monasteries, if he succeeds.
