PresidentDonald Trumpand the man who seems to be running the country with him sat down for a co-interview withSean Hannityof Fox News on Tuesday night where like gum stuck in a toupee Elon Muskspent much of the airtime repeating talking points and proving he needs a refresher on how democracy works.
When commenting on how criticism of Trumps administration from Democrats, Musk insisted, All were really trying to do here is restore the will of the people through the president, and what were finding is that theres an unelected bureaucracy.
He added, Speaking of unelected, theres a vast federal bureaucracy that is implacably opposed to the president and the cabinet.

The Tesla billionaire continued to ramble, If the will of the president is not implemented and the president is representative of the people, that means the will of the people is not being implemented, and that means we dont live in a democracy, we live in a bureaucracy, before asking Hannity, Does that make sense?
Despite Trumps pledges to keep the American peoples best interests in mind, the president has repeatedly expressed to his wish to be adictator, used hisexecutive power to target civil rights, and his Department ofHomeland Securityhas nowbudgeted as much as $200 million on anti-immigrant ads.

Since Trumps inauguration, Musk has taken on an unprecedented, dubiously legal role as a fiscal and bureaucratic weed whacker at the head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Tesla and SpaceX billionaire, who remains active as the head of his companies, has led a gutting of federal programs, regulatory agencies, and congressionally authorized budget items he doesnt particularly like.
DOGE is a loosely authorized temporary contracted organization that lacks the congressional authorization needed to make it a true executive department.
With Trumps blessing, in the first months of the administration Musk and DOGE have cut thousands of jobs from the federal workforce, targeted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for dismantling, terminated high-level FEMA officials, and sought to force their way into sensitive financial systems at the Treasury Department, Social Security Administration, IRS, and the Office of Personnel Management.
