Elon Musk's DOGE plan could mix public and private interests in a way previously not seen in American politics, the former world chess champion said.
The article from HuffPost discusses the growing influence of America's ultra-wealthy, particularly focusing on Donald Trump and Elon Musk, in shaping the country's political and economic landscape. It highlights how these figures, often labeled as oligarchs, are not only amassing significant personal wealth but also exerting considerable control over public policy, media, and societal norms. The piece points out Trump's continued political influence despite legal challenges, and Musk's expansive business ventures and his impact on public discourse through platforms like X (formerly Twitter). The article argues that this concentration of power in the hands of a few billionaires undermines democratic principles, as these individuals can sway elections, influence legislation, and shape public opinion to favor their interests. It also touches on the broader implications of such oligarchic tendencies, including the potential erosion of the middle class, increased inequality, and the manipulation of information, drawing parallels with historical and international examples of oligarchy.
