This is literally what most mass murdering dictators in history have always done. When you kill all of the honest, qualified messengers, you end up with yes men who reinforce your own stupidity and ignorance.

Stalin and Mao caused famines that killed millions because they believed industrialization and agricultural output were what they dictated and was reported to them, instead of what was reality; not to mention all the innocent peasants they murdered because they were clearly saboteurs for failing dear leader.

Hitler killed 50+ million believing his military could defeat all of Europe and the US because nobody told him that was dumb af. Same with Japan.
