4. Elon the Unelected

Has, as far as I know, no authority over any part of the Federal Government. The "Fork" email that we all got? What is the legal authority for that? How can a Federal employee go on 7 months of admin leave? There's no authority for that! The FAQ section says if you take the offer you can get another job while you're on admin leave, but that violates the ethics rules. Many questions with no answers.

Going back to my original point, Elon has no authority. He's unelected, and unappointed to any part of the Government that I'm aware of...but he's sure acting like he's in charge. Congress and the press, do your jobs!
