That's because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important. From their point of view, government is just a thing that takes money from them and spends it on people who don't deserve to live because they're not asshole billionaire techbros. And it makes poor people's lives slightly less unpleasant by giving them money and services, which billionaires don't like because it makes the poor less desperate and exploitable.

kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.

You can also just search: "Elon Musk Twitter server move" and the terms "Sacramento" or "Pocket Knife" might help.
