    Trump and Vance hold no actual power. Musk is now the shadow president of the USA.

      I wish this were true… You should probably read some history about fascism/totalitarianism. Musk, and his corporations, are just another arm of the authoritarian government, to be used on the whim of our singular leader. Usually to mete out vengeance for perceived slights, and occasionally reward a crony for their loyalty (until they’re no longer needed, of course).

      This is how all corporations function under this system, otherwise they are eliminated.

      Welcome back to the political spoils system.
