No no no. PHB is Elon Musk, 100%. (Doesn’t know shit about anything and is dumber than a bag of rocks, but is still very enthusiastic about going forth and fucking things up.) Trump is like the CEO of Dilbert’s company (a lot dumber than the PHB, but fortunately too stupid to function most of the time, so his direct subordinates have to do the actual day-to-day fuck-ups, leaving only the most gigantic massive fuck-ups for him to handle personally).
Edit: And of course it comes as no surprise that when Adams went into the deep end, he worked to “rehabilitate” PHB and other dumb manager characters and made them look better. He was no man of principle, you see.
Dilbert would have hated Adams. PHB is basically Trump and somehow he completely missed it. Every a shame.

Adams was always a little weird. He just masked it better until his divorce. I knew he was a crackpot in 2007 with his “Fossils are Bullshit” article.

Adams made Dilbert pretty insufferable and (right wing) political in his later years.
