'They're working in devilish tandem': Trump and Musk's dreams of government deconstruction collide

^{Published on 2025-02-05 17:20:38 - MSN}

John Heilemann joins Nicolle Wallace and discusses how Elon Musk's agenda to deconstruct the administrative state dovetails with President Trump's - but has a broader aim.

The article from MSN discusses the alignment of interests between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk in their vision for government deconstruction. It highlights how both figures, despite their different backgrounds, share a common goal of reducing the size and influence of the federal government. Trump has historically pushed for deregulation and downsizing of government agencies, while Musk, through his various ventures, has often clashed with regulatory bodies, advocating for less government oversight in business, particularly in technology and space industries. The piece suggests that their mutual disdain for what they perceive as bureaucratic overreach could lead to a powerful synergy if Trump were to return to office, potentially accelerating their shared agenda of government deregulation and transformation. This convergence of interests is described as "devilish tandem" due to the potentially disruptive impact on current governmental structures and regulations.
