Nobody asked.

Trump thinks he can control Vance, Musk, and the techno/crypto-fascists. Trump is signing executive orders about straws while Musk is collecting the largest and most valuable dataset in history. He now knows just about anything worth knowing about the financial, health, and personal lives of hundreds of millions of people. In all likelihood he knows who all of our spies are, who all of the double agents working on America’s behalf are, and what levers to push to manipulate the economy any way he chooses. He is the most powerful person in the world and Trump is concerned with trans kids not being able to play youth soccer. Trump handed the keys to the kingdom to Musk and he doesn’t seem to have the foggiest idea.
What throws people off is their difficulty in distinguishing between a troll, a mere idea, and actual policy when Trump speaks.
In this context, Vance serves as more of a spokesman for Trump—he’s the one who clearly articulates Trump’s policies.
“Musk Derangement Syndrome” is a new phenomenon, and auditing the government is a very popular idea. I also see the media engaging in significant fearmongering regarding this issue.
Huh. People in a right-wing echo chamber blindly do what they are told. I'm shocked. Shocked, I say.
