Elon, et al. are out to privatize everything—as much as possible.
Why do you think that is?
As you consider your answer remember: Government finance prioritizes accountability & transparency, while private-sector finance focuses on profitability & shareholder value.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
