Joe Biden faded from the national leadership, where Donald Trump and his allies, including Elon Musk, are acting, as if they were already responsible. Committee members on Washington Week with the Atlantic Ocean Join last night to discuss this and how the government closed on the table.
Musk became one of the strongest men in Washington, where they played a decisive role in the Trump administration. Mark Leipovic said last night that the technological billionaire is a new character for Trump to interact with her. “Donald Trump loves new games, and loves new partners, and he loves to look at him in particular in partnership with a richer person than him, and he is richer than anyone in the world,” explained to Leipovic.
But regardless of the period in which Mosk remains alongside Trump, his presence – especially on issues such as invitations with foreign leaders – is far from traditional for a person who does not have governance experience. “What does this mean for the health of American democracy as it is known?” I asked. “Seeing a very wealthy person in an uncomfortable position has the president’s ear in this way” is “very unprecedented.”
