Musk & Ramaswamy’s Regulatory Power Grab: Why It’s Easier Said Than Done
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy plan to utilize recent Supreme Court decisions in *West Virginia v. EPA* and *Loper Bright* to dismantle federal regulations, believing these rulings expand executive power to do so. However, legal experts contend this interpretation is flawed, arguing the rulings actually restrict agency authority and complicate the process of overturning existing rules. The process of removing regulations is lengthy, resource-intensive, and faces potential legal challenges. Therefore, achieving significant deregulation will be considerably more difficult than Musk and Ramaswamy suggest.
