Elon Musk's CPAC appearance was a glimpse into the man the Trump administration is asking Americans to blindly trust with their government.

Musk and his boss, Donald Trump , are implementing a kind of government by meme : a reign of trolling and open grift that is at once profoundly unserious and gravely dangerous.

In Trump and Musk , we have two demagogues unilaterally moving to dismantle the American government and its democratic system.
