  • Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has been Donald Trump's battering ram during the president's first 100 days, slashing the federal government and trying to bend its remnants to Trump's will.

Elon Musk has announced plans for a hostile takeover of the US government, aiming to implement sweeping changes within the first 100 days of his administration, according to a CNN report from April 26, 2025. Musk, who has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with current government policies, intends to leverage his influence and resources to gain control, promising to overhaul regulations, particularly in technology and environmental sectors. His strategy includes aligning with former President Donald Trump, who has expressed support for Musk's vision. Musk's proposed changes include significant deregulation to boost innovation, a complete restructuring of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the establishment of a new federal agency focused on space exploration and colonization. Critics argue that Musk's approach could lead to instability and favor corporate interests over public welfare, while supporters believe his leadership could drive unprecedented progress and economic growth.
