The article draws a provocative parallel between Elon Musk and a king, suggesting Musk's significant influence over America’s civilian government. It points out the lack of true power from political leaders like Donald Trump, portraying Musk as a central force in contemporary governance. The piece emphasizes Musk's control over key governmental infrastructure, including the Treasury and Department of Energy, and warns of potential risks associated with the penetration of critical systems, noting that this represents a major breach in IT security within the government.
This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country's history-at least that's publicly known, a contractor who's worked on classified systems at government agencies told The Atlantic.
By controlling the infrastructure, Musk controls the nation. The two most obviously significant agencies on that list are the Treasury, which controls the money, and the Department of Energy, which controls the nuclear secrets.
