If it appears otherwise, it is simply that --- an appearance presented as part of the ruse in their quest for personal power.
Trump I think is much less ideological. I think he sort of has this hard on for tarrifs he's always had from his time in business, but I don't know that Trump actually wants to "Make America Great Again". MAGA is just a way for Trump to get people to love him and stay in power.
The notion of cultural supremacy resonates with some in Silicon Valley, land of big and targeted data. The social media and crypto bro's have been running essentially unregulated for a long time and sided with Trump on his unconstitutionally extreme libertarianism, as in "I'll do whatever I like and take whatever I want". They definitely agree on that point, and they have not been stopped nor slowed down.

But the funny thing about leading, is that while the anticipation is rosier than you'd think, the leading is often even worse than I might imagine. Like it could be that Musk and the administration just didn't quite get along on ideological grounds, or Musk ran out of things to do, or it could be that he was kicked out just because people found him annoying.
