He’s basically going around telling people what is happening, and to take it up with Trump if it’s a problem. Then those people are dismissed. That’s the extent of his authority.

Was Elon even sworn in into any departament head role? Sorry for possibly stupid question but everyone else is being interrogated and voted on during confirmation hearings, right?

Traditionally joining a gang or mafia requires you to commit crime that can be used to control you later on. There are rules, some unwritten and unspoken ones are now brought to the light, that’s all. This also means this overstepping of boundaries can be used against Musk once he falls out of favour.
