Cabinet members can't dissolve entire agencies. Only congress can.

There are many other ways to fuck with government organizations, take away their teeth and funding and they're essentially a lame duck, then when the delayed effects are felt in the next admin, it's blamed on them instead of looking at how it got so bad.

But it's no different than appointing someone to the agency to do that. Which we all knew he would do anyway. Elon's meme "agency" doesn't make any difference.
