Musk is perceived (accurately I would say) as having way more influence in the Trump administration than the American people want him to have.

Agreed. Definitely makes me think we're heading to an very public fall out between them as the public perception and legal woes become unsustainable for Trump.

That interview in the Oval Office was...striking.  It felt like the Elon show.

I honestly don't know how an unelected person could actually have more influence than Musk has at the moment.  He's affecting the operations of numerous agencies and shows no signs of slowing down.  I'm not sure if anyone, including previous presidents has had more impact on an administration.
