> That's why Musk and Trump are having so much trouble coming to grips with how this place works I like to point out that--even within the standards of people who think government should be run like a company--all of Trump's experience is still at entirely the wrong kind of company. If the US were analogous to a major publicly-traded company, one with distributed shareholders, a CEO that must avoid being fired by the board, etc... Then what Trump inherited is North Korea: The dictator can't be removed for incompetence, they can "fire" anyone on a whim, there are no audits, and the only real competition is infighting between the family for whoever can ingratiate themselves or steal control when the leader strokes out.
