Column: Democrats belatedly wake up to start battling Trump and Musk

^{Published on 2025-02-17 10:00:47 - MSN}

Democrats in Congress seemed surprised as President Trump fully unleashed Elon Musk to upend the federal government. Can they mount a real opposition?

The article discusses the Democratic Party's increasing concern over the influence of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, particularly as the 2024 election approaches. It highlights how Democrats are now actively engaging in strategies to counter the political and cultural impact of these figures. The piece notes that while Trump has been a long-standing target, Musk's growing political involvement, especially through his ownership of X Corp (formerly Twitter), has become a new focal point. Democrats are criticized for their late response to these influential figures, with actions now including more aggressive social media campaigns, legal challenges, and public statements aimed at discrediting their narratives and influence. The article suggests that this belated awakening is driven by fears of misinformation, the sway over public opinion, and the potential for these individuals to affect election outcomes.
