No it another Alt Left lie
The President is elected. In keeping with a tradition going back at least as far as Wilson, President Trump asked Musk to do a job for him as and adviser
This is how a Representative Republic works. The people out of line here are the Alt Left Congressscum who assume they have some sort of authority to dictates to the Executive Branch how to exercise their authority.
if they want that Executive power, they should run for President and get elected.
Not really, its kinda like with all the government czars. They have no actual constitution authority, they are subject matter experts the president appointed to advise him and the agencies on critical issues.
In actuality Holmen has no authority on border issues, the Director of Customs and Border Protection has the authority to make actual decisions.
Same with the Drug Czar, the director of DEA is in charge of the agency the czar can only make recommendations.
The CBP Director answers to the DHS Secretly and the DEA director answers to the AG. There are no czars or consultants in the chain of command.
All the people on Musk's team had to be hired and approved by constitutionally recognized agency. He can't do it.
The reason it's set up this way is so one person is in charge of a program/agency and therefor accountable for the agencies performance. Something I hope will come back into fashion.
