According to the New York Times, "Elon Musk's business empire is making a profit under Trump"

"...more than 100 contracts with 17 different federal agencies." 

 

Since Donald Trump took power, Elon Musk's corporations have increased in value by a total of $613 billion. This is no coincidence, as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing him are being dismantled by DOGE, which is the acronym for
Musk's brand new office as an employee of "EFFICIENCY" according to the appointment of the person who is supposedly his boss, but the truth is this has nothing to do with "efficiency", but with Musk filling his pockets, although he supposedly has no direct authority, his control over Trump has been so strong that Trump's allies have called him "co-president".

Musk has already shown that he can use X to turn his followers into a political tool to shape the government to his whims.

A president who appears with the immense shadow of a billionaire like Musk, who is the inevitable and tragic consequence of the disastrous Citizens United decision, which opened the doors for Big Money to dominate our democracy.

Since 2010, political spending by billionaires has increased more than 300-fold. Musk's unprecedented spending and his control over a key communications platform ("X") takes this corruption to a whole new level. 

​

The contributions 

Musk’s $277 million campaign spending is outrageous, but effective.

What the public is seeing through the media and social media is that Donald Trump is simply a puppet of Musk. By pulling the strings of his Trump puppet, Musk can line his pockets with taxpayer money and dismantle the federal agencies that investigate him; he can enrich himself and escape any consequences for negative effects, criminal conduct, and/or simply harming many people along the way. This is not only Trump’s second presidency, but Elon Musk’s first.

As the 75 million Democrats who voted for Kamala Harris survive and fight this administration for the next four years, it is crucial to know where the power really lies.

Donald Trump may be in the Oval Office, but Elon Musk is pulling the strings. The world's richest man is claiming a nice return on the $277 million he spent backing Trump and other Republican candidates.

Musk hopes his puppet will act as Trump himself once stated, “when I need something from them, I call them and they are there for me,” of course, I will be there for them. 

​

Buying and blackmailing is the policy of bullying in all fields, the best example of which is seen in the harassment of thousands of workers in federal agencies. 

Career professionals, scientists, doctors, lawyers, etc., are being forced to interrupt important projects that affect the nation, their profession and the stability of their families.  

Musk started a super PAC (America PAC) that took over Trump's get-out-the-vote operation in key states. The operation was rife with labor exploitation. 

​

Census takers faced unsafe working conditions and were threatened during their employment, including being “transported in the back of a U-Haul van with no seats” and “told they had to pay hotel bills unless they met unrealistically high quotas,” according to accounts posted online by some who did such work.

Musk also turned his social platform X into the world's biggest pro-Trump megaphone. 

​

In 2024, he posted at least 87 false or misleading claims about the election on X to his over 200 million followers, those claims had a total of 2 billion views, and none of them had a "community note" from X's purported fact-checking system.

Several studies indicate that Musk changed the platform's algorithm to boost his own pro-Trump posts and accounts while stifling opposing views.

So why did Musk go all in on electing Trump? 

Because Trump was Elon Musk's best chance to gain control over our economy and democracy.

A month after Trump was elected, Musk's personal fortune increased by more than $180 billion. He stands to benefit even more during Trump's presidency, because one of Musk's biggest clients is the U.S. federal government. With a direct line to Trump, Musk is sure to secure even more government contracts.

​

Just two of Musk's companies, Tesla and Space X, have earned nearly $20 billion in government contracts over the past 16 years. 

​

Last year, his companies received 100 different contracts from 17 federal agencies. Many of these contracts have effectively allowed Musk to operate as a monopoly.

Space X has cornered much of the rocket launch market and its Starlink satellites have become crucial to the country's national security, with nearly two-thirds of all active satellites now controlled by Musk.

With his own puppet president in the White House, Musk can pull the strings to expand his influence and wealth even further.

Musk will also likely have the opportunity to escape liability laws intended to protect the public.

In recent years, at least eight federal agencies have fined, investigated or charged Musk's companies for a variety of violations.

​

Now, thanks to the job given to him by his supposed boss, Musk can control what federal agencies have been investigating about his business dealings. 

​

Meanwhile, the expressive president distracts the public with more lies, worthy of a reality show, he knows about that. 

​

The prevailing chaos seems to have been conceived by a soap opera scriptwriter; a thirsty revenge with which to punish those he believes are not loyal to him, all public officials, career professionals, judges, general inspectors, prosecutors, federal agents:

​

Department of Education, Homeland Security, FBI, CIA, Army, Press. All the bodies on which a democracy functions have been threatened, destabilized and have suffered dismissals without legal or human considerations. 

 

Most of his executive orders – his curious way of governing in order to feel important – lack legality and are mostly in violation of the constitution and laws, which is why they are being challenged in the courts and put on remission, while their legitimacy is confirmed. 

​

This situation has thrown the State Department, the Justice Department, and all the agencies responsible for the proper functioning of any government into chaos, and in a few weeks has turned the United States of America into the Disunited States of America. 

​

The country is going through a great crisis of irrationality, with racist persecutions – it wants only whites in the territory – in an environment full of hatred against immigrants, it has altered the good functioning of the economy that is sustained by them, it has broken the model of stability left by the democratic management of the previous president Joe Biden. 

​

Republican states turn a blind eye to the atrocities of their elected president and attack immigrants as criminals who took their jobs, renewed fascist tactics that are working. 

​

The facts showed that after the pandemic, immigration was one of the positive factors for recovering the economy according to the most serious scholars of the subject in the country. 

​

The attacks on immigrants, Musk and Trump's false accusations against federal agencies and their alleged corruption, and claims that he did not lose the 2020 election all show an elaborate plan to create chaos and justify his own corruption.  

​

Using lies as a weapon of battle, fascism and Nazism have been reborn in the United States thanks to the power of the big capital of billionaires with Elon Musk at the head. A model is reproduced where there is no morality, no ethics; there are no human or social values ​​and there is no history of how progress towards democracy was achieved. 

Musk's egregious role through DOGE, his power over what gets slashed or not, is directly related to Musk's own active interest.  

​

The man who has not been elected by the people to the office he holds cuts at his convenience like a saw and receives benefits through affecting multiple agencies, the worst thing is that no one can stop his deadly attack. 

​

Who elected Elon Musk as president? 

Who is the president?

 

Today , the world watches in amazement as the image of the United States crumbles. How did we go from being a leading country of democracy to being a country that violates the human rights of the weakest? The richest and most powerful, with the most powerful army on earth persecuting a few poor, weak and abused immigrants who only seek to work to survive with their families and have something to eat.  

​

Our democracy, which respects individual freedoms and human rights, has disappeared and been replaced by an autocracy. 

Hopefully, the sanity and democratic spirit that has made this nation great will not be definitively destroyed by this wave of circus madness that we have seen every day since January 20, 2025.
