Bureaucracy:
From Merriam-Webster:
1
a
: a body of *nonelected* government officials
b
: an administrative policymaking group
2
: government characterized by *specialization of functions*, adherence to fixed rules, and a hierarchy of authority
From Wikipedia:
A system of organization where laws or regulatory authority are implemented by civil servants, non-elected officials.
So basically bureaucracy collectively is the government workers who are not elected, who are not politicians.
Elon is not elected, nor even approved by the Senate. He is a bureaucrat. DOGE is a bureaucracy. That is literally by definition.
