I honestly wish people would start thinking rationally and with their critical thinking skills.
Lets take Trump and Elon. Both of them are billionaires, with zero to gain and everything to lose by trying to fix things. The ones crying, are the poor career politicians who can only enrich themselves through government fraud. Trump and Elon are the most selfless of all, as they are putting their lives on the line to save this country. As hardcore conservative as I am, if I was in the same spot as Elon, I would not have done the same.
What does Elon have to gain (financially) from this? He's the richest man on earth and he's only 53 years old. He can buy anything he wants and has more money than he knows what to do with. It's funny when people talk about his access to the IRS, SSNs, etc. What is he going to do with that information for his gain? Is he going to sell it on the dark web for a couple of hundred? It makes no damn sense. His life is at risk as well, so there is zero chance he's doing this to make a few more bucks.
At the end of the day, these are still men and they will make mistakes, say the wrong thing on occasion, etc. However, that doesn't take anything away from what they're trying to do. If you think about this rationally, there is no other motive, other than trying to save this country.
Edit - I believe Elon even lived in a trailer behind the Austin Tesla plant. Outside of buying things like Twitter (to help create positive change), he's never shown a propensity to be extravagant. Again, even if he loved luxury things, he could never spend all of the money he had before DOGE.
