Well, it'll get much worse on many levels. You should stop expecting things to work out as usual when critical jobs are being dismantled or idiots put into charge. It means that things you took for granted will change for the worse. It means that basic things will stop functioning.

Musk is dismantling lots of government functions without understanding them, like he did with Twitter, only this time it'll have much more severe consequences when things break. And Trump is putting idiots and loyal fascists into critical job roles and blames any negative consequences on his favorite enemies (e.g. migrants, democrats, the disabled, or former administrations). And once this has caused enough chaos, they will have an excuse to cut civil liberties even further in an effort to "restore law and order", because fascists love that and an omnipotent executive power that's fully loyal to the supreme leader. It's 193x Germany history, remixed and remastered, and now available in the US. (sorry)

The only silver lining is old age and terrible health.

Unfortunately that movement has plenty of younger people who might replace Trump.

To be fair, former careers are not always indicative of current performance. We have a former comedian as a president here and it's kinda been working out. Not saying he's perfect, but at least we aren't part of russia yet.
