Is it “Tom asks me people want to be too clever” or “Tom asks me people do want to be too clever “?

Is the word “do” necessary in the object clause which is also an interrogative sentence?

Your third sentence is better. “Tom asks me” is not a question; it’s a statement.

Tom probably asks you, “Do people want to be too clever?”

ESPECIALLY when asking questions on Y!A (lol).
