  • As Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue to run roughshod over the federal government with seeming impunity, there are at least three areas of restraint that could stand in their way, according to analysis by The Washington Post.

The article from MSN discusses the potential implications of a political alliance between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, focusing on their shared interests in reshaping the U.S. government and regulatory environment. It highlights three key checks that could hinder their "search and destroy mission" against what they perceive as an overreaching administrative state. Firstly, legal and regulatory frameworks might pose significant obstacles, as any drastic changes would need to navigate through established laws and regulations, potentially facing legal challenges. Secondly, bipartisan opposition in Congress could slow down or block their initiatives, given the need for legislative approval for many of their proposed changes. Lastly, public and media scrutiny would likely intensify, with watchdog groups, journalists, and the general public keeping a close eye on their actions, potentially mobilizing opposition or highlighting conflicts of interest. The article suggests that while Trump and Musk might envision a streamlined government with less bureaucratic interference, these checks could significantly impede their ability to enact sweeping reforms.
