The crisis is less “is Elon Musk the president” — whatever — than the reality that the United States functionally has no one in the role.
Trump heads a syndicate of plunderers inside the institutional remnants of the U.S. government — but has in no sense carried out the duties of his office.

Elmo also abuses multiple controlled substances.
Knowing this, its insane that he has access to this information. Hes a nat sec risk.
Can the PENTAGON switch the plans out?
Neither Don nor Elon would ever know the difference.
He’s ignored and brushed against open defiance of international treaties, such as the North Atlantic Treaty, that bind his office.
He’s run federal institutions as the enforcement arm of an extortion racket — denying duly appropriated resources to states and other institutions until they kiss his ring.
Which they might—b/c if possession is 9/10ths of the law, they clearly possess the run of the office.
We have no president or congress. We have no country. Parts that can be sold, will be. The rest will crater & people will die. The Broligarch vampires will cannibalize the rest.
It’s hard to get re-outraged or more anxious, but I think this does it.
T: I can show you anything, Elon. I’m the President.
M: I bet you show me eeeeeeeverything. Not, like, the Chinese war strategies, for instance.
T: yes I can. When you’re President they let you do anything.
M: (can’t believe his luck) Prove it.
I did a whole thread (at the old place) on January 7, 2021, that I then rehashed here earlier this month.
The short version: you're not a "president" if you're not presidenting. He's never even bothered.
There's nobody piloting this plane right now.
Very well put, both in terms of function and of organization.
Fantastic. Musk will thereafter go knock-up another gullible lady, to add to his brood of 13 kids…
That's exponentially truer now.
