Elected officials are civil servants and work for the people.

Elon is an unelected civilian and does not receive payment. He is not a civil servant but a front line lobbiest.

Trump works for Elon. Trump works for Bitcoiners. Trump works for the average mom and pop.

When you read The art of the deal you'll see who is getting the cherry with their slice of cake. Not Trump. He has nothing to gain by doing the shittiest most stressful job on earth in his old age when he could be enjoying a peaceful retirement.
