Trump's discussion with Musk about government cost-cutting highlights his longstanding alignment with the interests of billionaires over labor rights, even shocking his populist supporters.
Despite Trump's previous appeals to the working class, his actions as president undermine those claims, as he consistently favored policies that are detrimental to organized labor.
The admiration expressed by Trump towards Musk for disregarding labor rights reinforces criticisms that his pro-worker image was merely a political strategy.
Concerns surrounding Trump's comments reflect a disturbing trend among right-leaning populists, as they increasingly dismiss the significance of organized labor in favor of corporate interests.
