One of the few tactics employed by Musk-Trump opponents so far that has had even a whiff of effectiveness has been the effort to turn the two against one another. I'm referring to things like the visa debate and the "President Musk" quips. Both of these have a "Boydian Razor" logic to them because they short circuit the partnership between the two. There is a strong tension between the two megalomaniacs that is currently being managed, but if there is a way to derail the current Trump-Musk train, pushing on their "Boydian Razor" failure points seems to be one approach with potential.

Thought provoking as always Venkatesh. I wonder where time fits into Boyd’s razor? In order to respect Boyd’s razor you have to have the patience to tolerate integrity and wait to see how things play out. Musk also seems to focus on shorter time horizons / rapid gratification over the last few years. I am still processing the ideas here but think time is an element that is critical here too..
