A decade into Donald Trump's leadership, he continues to surprise with unexpected alliances, particularly with Elon Musk, who has emerged as a de facto co-president. Initially underestimated in a seemingly trivial government role, Musk's influence has rapidly expanded to access sensitive administrative systems. This shift has resulted in significant changes within various federal bodies, with alarming consequences, such as the dismantling of USAid, which threatens global health initiatives. The article highlights the broader implications of these developments, including the censorship of dissenting perspectives across government agencies.
It is humbling to realize, almost a decade into his tenure at the center of American politics and life, that Donald Trump still has the power to surprise us.
Instead, in a turn of events magazine cover artists have delighted in, Musk as a special government employee has seemingly taken the reins of the executive branch...
USAid has been gutted, putting the health and sustenance of countless vulnerable people around the world in immediate jeopardy, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Department of Education are now under assault.
Words and whole areas of inquiry are being banned for researchers; government-wide, anything that could provoke dissent is being targeted.
