The President wants to take over the appropriations power. Which he is forbidden by law to do. Google "impound act."
If Musk is able to exercise de facto line-item vetoes over what the Congress has appropriated - which again, is illegal, according to a law upheld by the Supreme Court 9-0 - then it is another assault on the Constitution.
Not that any MAGA morons give two shits about the constitution.
