I wish there was more salience on the fact that billionaires are talking about "fraud" in government while dismantling the systems that protect people from private sector fraud very intentionally. But there are so many important things right now.

President Musk has always been in charge. Best government money can buy.

I don't actually know whether this is legal but I'm gonna assume it's not and I know it shouldn't be

By law only the president can appoint an IRS commissioner or *any* acting official under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act so if Musk really did this without Trump's involvement that would in fact be illegal.
