Musk’s government overhaul plan: 'Delete' bureau that returns billions to Americans

.............Killing a government agency created by an act of Congress is more difficult than Musk might think. Doing so would also require an act of Congress. The one person who helped build the agency, Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), holds a seat in the U.S. Senate and, in particular, on the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, as well as the Committee on Finance.

The mere threat of a filibuster stops legislation from moving through the Senate.
