Transparency might be a helpful tool if the political system is still intact with checks and balances. Without those it becomes a violent way for the powerful to show themselves being untouchable. A forceful way to say "resistance is futile".

@lavaeolus This is why so many of us in the U.S. have been begging our elected representatives to do something while they still have the possibility. An easy one would be going to USAID this morning and filming, as an email was sent to all its employees in the middle of the night by one of the young men working for Musk (not for the government) telling them not to come into work today, and it’s likely some will miss it and come in anyway.
