Behind the Curtain: Trump and Musk's masculine maximalism reshapes government


Published on Thursday, February 13th 2025 at 6:20 GMT by MSN   Print publication without navigation

  • President Trump and Elon Musk, arguably the two most unorthodox and influential American leaders of the 21st century, are practicing and fine-tuning a fused theory of governing power: Masculine maximalism.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are influencing government and public policy through what is described as "masculine maximalism." This term refers to their aggressive, often confrontational style of leadership and policy-making, which emphasizes traditional notions of masculinity like strength, dominance, and a no-compromise attitude. Trump's approach during his presidency involved direct challenges to established norms, such as his interactions with the media, his foreign policy decisions, and his handling of domestic issues like immigration. Similarly, Elon Musk, through his companies like Tesla and SpaceX, and now with his acquisition of Twitter (rebranded as X), has pushed boundaries with his bold business strategies, public statements, and a vision for space exploration that defies conventional timelines. Both figures are seen as reshaping government and corporate governance by promoting a culture where aggressive, decisive action is celebrated, potentially influencing future leaders to adopt similar tactics in governance and business.
