“It’s kind of interesting,” Gonzales said during an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.” “We have a president, we have a vice president, we have a speaker. It feels like as if Elon Musk is our prime minister.”
Gonzales continued to praise Musk’s influence on the funding process, even as moderator Margaret Brennan pointed out that Musk has not been elected to any formal position in the U.S. government.
“Well, unelected, but, I mean, he has a voice, and I think a lot of —large part of that voice is a reflection of the voice of the people,” Gonzales said.

When a Republican listens for the “voice of the people”, all they hear is their own voice. Everything is projection and they lack the ability to imagine other people’s lives, so they assume what they want is what the people want.

I watched this segment. As is typical, Republicans know shit is insane, but they still have to make sure to slob the orange knob to ensure they don’t get labeled as the anti-whatever during primaries.
