Musk and Besant argue over the selection of the acting director of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
This is worth pondering
The selective inspection of the Internal Revenue Service is a powerful tool to strike political opponents, and Nixon's special inspection team and Obama's Tea Party scandal are examples of using IRS to strike opponents
Musk's involvement in IRS selection is definitely not with a bodhisattva heart
In the end, Trump chose to support Besant instead of Musk. Musk left Doge apparently because of time constraints. It's also interesting to link these points together
Musk, who controls Twitter, has a strong ability to influence public opinion and is to some extent the "king maker" of presidential and parliamentary elections. If he arranges his own people in the bureaucratic system through doge, especially "America's East Factory" like the Internal Revenue Service, Musk may truly become the uncrowned king, the new powerful deep government
Does Trump's choice mean that Trump does not want Musk to have too much power?
This is indeed more exciting than Game of Thrones
