How is the White House managing its relationship with Elon Musk and what concerns does this raise?

The White House is attempting a dual approach with Elon Musk, claiming he's not in charge while simultaneously treating him as a special government employee. According to Meghan Hays, who worked in two administrations, this is problematic because special government employees have the same access as regular employees. This contradictory stance raises concerns about Musk's growing power and access within the government. Hays emphasizes that everyone should be worried about what information Musk is accessing and how much influence the president is granting him. She believes Republicans will ultimately face political consequences for this arrangement, particularly as it affects their constituents.
