  • As Trump and Musk tighten their grip on the government machinery, the looming threat of sidelining the judicial system remains ever-present.

The article from MSN discusses a perceived constitutional crisis in the U.S., focusing on the actions of former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It highlights how Trump, during his presidency, challenged the traditional balance of powers by attempting to influence the Justice Department, undermining the independence of the judiciary, and questioning the integrity of elections. Post-presidency, Trump's influence continues through his endorsements and the political activities of his allies, which some argue further erodes democratic norms. Concurrently, Elon Musk's involvement in government affairs, particularly through his companies like SpaceX and Tesla, and his outspoken views on social media, are seen as reshaping government policy and regulatory frameworks, potentially skewing the balance of power towards private interests. The article suggests that these actions by both figures are not only challenging the separation of powers but also raising concerns about the integrity of democratic institutions and the rule of law in the United States.
