Less than five months. That's how long it took Washington to slap down the richest man in the world.

Having bought himself a presidential buddy in last year's election, Elon Musk came bebopping into the nation's capital, with his "tech support" T-shirt and SpaceX sneakers and grand vision of ruling as an unelected co-president. The power! The pomp! The sweet shoutout at President Donald Trump's first joint address to Congress! Who wouldn't drop nearly $300 million to get that kind of rush if they could afford it?
