    Right, I just don’t see that as Musk’s fault. Musk only has power because Trump gives him power. Musk is just a caricature of a spoiled rich kid who wants to play President, but Trump was actually elected, chosen by the people to lead them.

    So I have much higher expectations of Trump than I do of Musk. So any damage Musk causes is directly attributable to Trump.

    I have even less control over what Musk does than I do over Trump. For Trump, I can at least push my reps to impeach him, whereas Musk will have Trump’s ear regardless of whether he holds his “official” position. So I choose to not particularly care what he does, because there’s nothing I can do about it except react emotionally.
