  U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order handing an Elon Musk-led commission sweeping power to oversee federal hiring across non-military departments, entrenching what's been described as a "shadow government" spearheaded by an unelected billionaire.

The article from MSN discusses a new executive order by former President Donald Trump that significantly expands the influence of Elon Musk and other tech moguls within the U.S. government, effectively creating what some describe as a "shadow government." This order allows for greater private sector involvement in government operations, particularly in areas like space exploration, AI development, and infrastructure. Critics argue that this move entrenches corporate interests at the expense of public accountability, with Musk's companies like SpaceX and Tesla gaining unprecedented access and influence over policy decisions. The order is seen as part of a broader strategy to merge government functions with private enterprise, potentially undermining traditional democratic processes and regulatory oversight. This has raised concerns about conflicts of interest, the privatization of public services, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few tech billionaires.
