How the fuck is Elon Musk suddenly in charge of the US Government? How are the American people OK with this? How are American politicians even OK with this?
Remember when Republicans were whinging about "unelected bureaucrats" and the "shadow government"?
Yeah, now they're literally implementing that themselves.
I wonder if Elon walks around with personal security.
"Wait, it's all projection?"

"Always has been"
Every accusation is actually a confession
He does and quite a lot it seems, the New York Times report it's up to 20 bodyguards and a doctor. Tesla payed 2.4 million USD for protection of Musk in 2023. Apparently they went through documents that the Handelsblatt got from Lukasz Krupski, who used to work at Tesla

American people are protesting. Politicians are either actively allowing this behavior or saying, "Oh-no, he can't do that! What he did is very bad!" Unfortunately, politicians are not beholden to the people they are supposedly representing.
Musk can literally never show himself in public anymore for fear of assassination.
Why do you think he's been running around with ~~a human shield~~ one of his kids at all times recently?
We're not okay with it, they've just removed our ability to do anything about it that isn't a literal act of terrorism
JFK put it quite nicely back in 1962: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
This was all outlined in Project 2025 which was made publically available for everyone to read. Then people voted for Trump.
You say that like trump voters read anything
Therein lies the problem.
A bunch of the conservatives I know professed to believe him when he said he had no idea about project 2025. Whether they were just masking or actually duped, I have my guesses.
