Donald Trump is president of the United States. He can issue executive orders, have people rounded up, impose tariffs, and appoint officials.

However, Elon Musk is basically in charge of the money now. Everything The Donald orders is going to need to be paid for. Officials need to be paid. Government departments will shut down without funding, even the Pentagon.

Donald Trump is officially in charge of the country. But if the last six months of posts to Truth Social are any indication, his mind is not up for the job.

Elon Musk has been handed control of key government functions by Trump. Is Musk telling him what to do, counting on Trump’s general ignorance about how the government works and disinterest in anything other than his revenge?

Which of them is really running things?
