As someone else pointed out, I think the point of the person who originally posted it may have essentially been your point, with parallels of course to today's situation.
But the Elon retweet only makes sense with a nearly opposite twist, that this somehow justifies what Doge is doing right now and all the firings coming from that, or that he's acknowledging that he's building such a cadre of empowered goons.
It's weird, there's no doubt, but that retweet sits somewhere on the spectrum between creepy and terrifying.
