Maddow noted a marked difference in the political climate from Trump's first term, emphasizing the absence of daily protests and the challenges of political discourse during this period.

Trump has faced criticism for executive orders specifically targeting the trans community and eliminating diversity programs across government and military.
Musk's new position didn't require senate approval, sparking protests and boycotts of Tesla cars globally, with critics blaming Trump for this power shift.
