I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it.

History offers no control groups; there is no "right" way to proceed. What's certain is that "nothing" is not the answer.

Maybe we should double down on capitalism again.

It's the only move the US has used in living memory.

Like when Elon gets rid of "all regulations" make private bounty hunters/hitman legal again?

Anything is legal if it's not prosecuted.

And with a dismantled government, how much can they really prosecute?

Prosecution is one possibility. Getting gunned down is another. Getting sent to Gitmo is another. Having your family retaliated against is another.

All legal, if they aren't prosecuted either.
