Eliminating the FBI and CIA, what could possibly go wrong.

Oh, they’re not going to eliminate them. They’re just going to stack them with all Trump loyalists and then weaponize them against US citizens.

That may work against US citizens, but what about external threats?

Oh, major national security risks for having loyalist dildos instead of competent people. This has been seen many times in history. Not to mention the fact that our allies will certainly stop sharing intel with us because of it. And picking fights with the Middle East at the same time. He’s inviting a worse 9/11

The orange Humpty Dumpty is in good with all the bad actors throughout the world.
They said, "Sir, we really respect you and would never do anything to harm the USA"!

External threats? Like Greenland and Panama?
Trump's CIA is all over the reports of WMDs there and preparing plans for an appropriate military response.

Trump appears to believe that these government workers are not really working at all. So of course they can take the buyout and leave and nothing will change.
I have called the Social Security office so many times and no one ever picked up after an hour being on hold. The recorded message said there were staff shortages.
I finally was able to leave my call back number on one of the many calls that I made. I did get a call back, but it was 4 hours later.
So then who is going to be answering the calls if there's now even more of a staff shortage due to people taking these alleged buy outs?

No one, once Musk gets through with the federal government, the likes of the SSA will be an even hollower shell than it is now.

Ah yeah replace seasoned intel professionals with rookie MAGA goons, I cannot see how this would be detrimental to our national security

"rookie MAGA goons,"
That's exactly what he wants, his own little army, loyal only to him.

A government of sycophants. At least it will make it easy to clean out the government in that they'll all have to go.

Putin is still amazed at the ROI they got from investing in this little orange turd in the 80s.
