Elon Musk has doubled down on his involvement in the United States government and bureaucracy. It has been widely reported in the US media that the Tesla and SpaceX boss and his associates are expanding their reach in government, initiating chaos in the US bureaucratic system.
Musk Defends Himself
Musk reacted to a statement from senior US and Democratic politician Charles Schummer.
Musk’s extremely close ties with President Trump have resulted in the accrual of immense power for the X owner.
In his statement in the US Senate, Schummer said, ” “The American people will not stand for an un-elected secret group to run rampant through the executive branch. Being innovative is good, but Mr. Musk, this isn’t a tech startup. These are public institutions.”

Schummer’s veiled attack was directed at Musk and his disciples.
Responding to this, Musk, outlandishly defended his positioning in the US government and abused the US Senator. Musk said, “He’s mad that @DOGE is dismantling the radical-left shadow government in full view of the public.”

Eluding the acknowledgement of his overreach, despite being an unelected ‘official’, Musk further went on to add, “This is our ONE CHANCE to return POWER to the PEOPLE from an unelected BUREAUcracy back to DEMOcracy!!”
“Only with the support of YOU can this succeed. Thank you, unknown soldiers.”, Musk added.
Musk’s Powerplay
Elon Musk the richest man on the planet has been accused of heading the Second Gilded Age in America with the support of the new president Donald Trump.
In his farewell address, former US President Joseph Biden even warned the American public about the US turning into an oligarchy, where the rich and influential oligarchs run the show for the rest of the public, no matter who is in power.
The first noted, historically defined Gilded Age came to pass in the early 20th century, when big businesses and their owners had an immeasurable sway over the government in the United States, fueling inequality.
