6. "...the fastest way for dump and musk to lose power..."

It depends on what is meant by ‘lose power.’

Removal from office via the 25th Amendment or the impeachment process notwithstanding, we’re stuck with Trump until 2029, regardless the condition of the economy.

Otherwise, a severe recession might undermine the Trump agenda, causing Trump to lose the support of Congressional Republicans, or Republicans losing one or both Houses of Congress.

A bad economy might force Musk out as an ‘advisor.’

But we shouldn’t be wishing for an economic downturn or taking action to cause a downturn – it’s the reprehensible right that wants to see the American people suffer for some perceived partisan gain; that’s not who we are as Democrats, we’re better than that.
