It is Elon Musk who is now running the United States. Not Donald Trump | Moira Donegan
IT is one of the insults in our historical moments destroyed by the constitutional system by these stupid and unique people. On a path with Donald TrumpBillionaire Illon Musk, who funded the Trump campaign to about 250 million dollars, pledged to reduce two dollars in the federal budget, a project promise to destroy the economy, destroy the nation’s credit, eliminate programs and institutions that structure the lives of people and create an economic vacuum and international leadership that can compete in America – That is, China – to take.
This was adequate enough on its own. But because Musk is narcissistic and smart – because he insists on getting rid of the award and being unable to pay attention as he destroys the lives of people – he named his new project, “The Ministry of Governmental efficiency”, or Doug, a reference for events for years – the son of Mim includes Shiba Eno.
Under this stupid banner, Musk raised the American regime of the government, as it seized an unprecedented, unprecedented degree and apparently accountable. Less than three weeks after Trump’s restoration, a running dawn is running.
The group is not a government ministry; Musk is not a member of the Council of Ministers and has not undergone the Senate confirmation. But it is now said to have an office in the western wing, along with one side in the building of Eisenhower’s executive office across the street. In its direction, a small group of programmers and engineers – men between the ages of 19 and 25 – roams through federal agencies, absorbing control of their sensitive data and submitting proposals for huge discounts.
A few days after Trump’s inauguration, Musk was said to send an email to all two million employees – a thorn on the road – encouraging To them to resign Before expected mass shooting. According to what was reported, the workers were offered to buy seven -month salaries; It is doubtful whether any of those who take it on the offer will get it at all.
Musk and his young followers moved to specific programs he sees a waste – including those whose money has been allocated by Congress – and the closure of the entire sections. He announced the closure of the Foreign Aid Agency in the United States of America, and is looking forward to eliminating a large part of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Labor, along with privatization National Oceanic and Attrads Administration. He seized the cabinet, specifically the treasury system, giving itself the veto in the structures of all government spending. He has also received access to RAMS from private and sensitive data, and according to what was reported, many of them have been downloaded on special servers. It can access bank accounts, medical history, income and debt records. If care, he can search for your social security number.
Nobody elects musk and very little than what is doing it is legal. Congress, not a random, rich person, who gives the wallet power, because citizens deserve to have an opinion, through their elected representatives, on how the government is spent on their tax dollars. Federal civilian employees under the law are protected from cleansing operations, because the federal bureaucracy is supposed to serve the people of the United States, and not just work as cabaret and perpetrators to roam some of the foreign billionaires who have not voted before.
There is an opportunity to ask musk to stop its unconstitutional dismantling to the federal government by order of the court, so that it may obey him; There is an opportunity to be afraid, and announces a hasty victory and retreat. But this opportunity looks more and more remotely. Musk has now seized many state members. It also does not seem to be any way to prevent it.
Trump’s critics have long predicted a coming crack between Musk and Trump, but it is not clear, exactly that he is from Trump where Musk derives his strength: it seems that overcoming federal agencies and reducing federal expenses coming from his own preferences and pulses, and not any direction from the man who He is the president.
Trump may be, that is, it is the one who sits in the oval office, and it may be Trump who takes on TV every few days to sign another executive order that seeks to punish the transformers. But it is musk that controls governmental operations and federal spending, and therefore it is musk that runs the country. The constitutional system, now, is to remove clothes to a large extent. The truth is that the foreign billionaire runs the state through the shadow government, and that its strength has no official examination.
Another insult to our time: to mention only what is happening in excess, even unequal. Musk, after all, is a young man, morally-transparent in his self-esteem, and his childhood in his self-respect-it is difficult to put him as a deep agent for history.
It does not represent much banality like the sincere evil: how it is shallow and honorable. However, the personal and private seizure of the state’s authority has made a real doubt whether the American constitution is still in effect. How can it be, if he raises his demands so that he is not adhered to, and with this impunity? How can it be, if a rich man can wish to buy anyone?
For a long time now, it was clear that America was slipping from a liberal governance to something more vulgar and less accountable, something similar to a special paddle for the wealthy who were extracted from people and punished him, but he never turns to respond to their will. We knew this would come. I did not expect it to be very embarrassing.
