The problem is that the opposite of the headline would be the surprising one. If it was "Trump refuses to give Elon Musk's buddy total control over NASA, citing <X/Y/Z valid reasons>", that would be the current Onion-level headline.
That's the problem with living in the weirdest timeline: reality is more satirical than fiction.
I basically go by the "this would be an Onion headline in a sane world" criteria.
Because "crazy person acted rationally and within established norms" is frankly not a fascinating read nor THAT surprising when the last person in the room with him is sometimes either a rational person or someone wanting reasonable things for unreasonable reasons.
