Can anyone enlighten me why an openly fascist unelected person, with a potentially violated immigration status, and private capital motivations, continues having government data access, and making claims about things he has 0 business being near?

Trump needed the money during the last election. Plus, this way Trump can blame all this unpopular stuff on Musk. Trump can say he was just listening to the business community. Now if your question is "should" rather than "why" the answer is no, he should not.

Because this is what Amerikans want. They don’t bother voting and don’t care to actively participate in democracy. They’d rather have a strongman who tells them what to think and do. It eliminates cognitive load that could be better spent on TikTok or other short-form video apps.
