Summary

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has boldly declared a war on the federal government, aggressively reshaping public discourse and challenging established authority.

Using a ‘special government employee’ role via an executive order, Musk established DOGE to cut $500 billion in annual spending, strictly bypassing oversight.

Musk targeted USAID, declaring it as criminal while proposing its shutdown, and appointed young, inexperienced aides and former Tesla staff to federal positions.

These maneuvers have sparked partisan debates, raised conflict-of-interest concerns, and underscored a dramatic shift in federal power dynamics in a nation-wide upheaval.

    Well that leaves Trump’s name out of the focus and he’s just as much to blame. Can’t let him blame Elon and dodge responsibility ( he will, of course)
