It's a wise thing he's doing. At 78 Trump is clearly slowing down. Elon still has high energy in his 50s and is acting as the fire behind Trump making him move faster. The flurry of activity even at the very beginning of his presidency seems much more like Musk than Trump. Though as a foreigner he can never be President, he basically got his role as Shadow President.
Somehow I knew several years ago (around the time I came back to Twitter, so probably 2018) that something big was coming in 2024 AND that Elon would have something to do with it because he was then a fast rising star. But I had no idea how it could play out - because of Elon's foreign birth that was always a hurdle. Well, now we know he just had to make the right friends and ride the right movement. Brilliant moves on his part.
I'm inclined to agree with you, despite not liking him anymore than you do, that Elon is the master strategist of our age. No one has come close to this kind of maneuvering in my lifetime.
