The richest man in the world has also become the aide to the American president. Elon Musk has long been known for his visionary ideas and unusual outlook on society. His unusual approach to business has brought him among the world's billionaires, and he has now entered the world of politics. His posts on social network X, which he owns, hint at how he imagines a revolution in public order. What would the world look like according to Musk through his tweets?
Although Elon Musk and Donald Trump are now presenting themselves as best childhood friends, their alliance is purely a utilitarian power pact. The proof is clear. In the previous elections, Musk reportedly voted for Joe Biden and originally played his card in the political game on Ron DeSantis, which clearly indicates that he did not like Trump for a long time.
The end justifies the means and both businessmen soon formed a political alliance, which led Musk to the head of a new office, the aim of which is to increase the efficiency of the American state administration by reducing the number of offices. At the same time, the richest man is not an official member of the administration, so a number of question marks hang over his powers and ambitions. As a small prediction exercise, a view into Musk's thought world as a member/non-member of the American government through his posts on social networks is offered.
"Have you tried turning the government off and on again?"
Writes Musk in one of the latest posts on X.
With his typical minimalist style, Musk of course provokes, but what would turning off the government mean? If we took this literally, the idea that government officials would take a day off would not mean anything at all. In practice, this is likely happening to a great extent during the summer months.
If we pondered it further and started thinking about what a state without government would look like, the answer is simple. It would not exist at all. In the American world, this means a return to Indian teepees. A state without a government cannot realistically exist. Whether the source of the government's power is the people, as written in their constitution, or the leader is at the head of the government by the grace of God.
Let's leave aside the times of the British colonial empire on the American continent, but for the above reason, they have a vice president in the USA, currently JD Vence. If the president died, someone else would have to assume his essential role. In our country, for these reasons, we have a resigning government.
One example is all it takes. If a state is under military threat, without a government there will be nobody to issue the crucial order to fight. No one else is responsible. In the case of the USA, the nuclear briefcase is tied to the government and mainly to the president. A state of anarchy would therefore be an invitation for other nuclear powers to wipe out their competitor from the face of the earth without a proper response.
What Musk's brilliant mind wanted to convey is a bit unclear, but at the same time it needs to be acknowledged that if the public space were spared the statements of government officials for a while, it would probably enjoy such a break.
"If ANY judge, anywhere, can stop ANY presidential action, anywhere, then we do not live in a democracy,"
Musk came up with another idea at X.
As a preliminary remark to this discovery, it should be noted that the division of power into executive, legislative, and judicial was first practiced by American revolutionaries led by George Washington when they established a state known as the USA. It is considered the oldest democracy of the modern type in the world. The balancing of power ensures that if someone tries to usurp the power that does not belong to him according to constitutional rules, he will encounter another source of power.
Thus, during the eight hours separating the two mentioned tweets, Musk has presented us with his rather contradictory political vision. It is essentially either anarchistic or authoritarian. In an attempt to resolve this contradiction as to which he prefers, we can examine his other public appearances. By saluting at the inauguration, he has aligned with an authoritarian, traditionally fascist, understanding.
Even more current is his speech from the oval office, in which he fantasizes about zero inflation, to be ensured by his technological genius. It's not surprising that in the presidential office he is not alone, after all, he did not win any elections, but there sits a certain Trump and a little boy who picks his nose.
One of Musk's twelve children, who as a proper supporter of Christian conservatism has with three women, behaves strikingly similar to an absent-minded president. The billionaire thus brought a bit of anarchy into the presidential office. It's really hard to understand Musk's genius, most likely because he has already mentally moved to Mars, where he promised to get a human foot during Trump's presidency.
On Musk's Mars, one man will reign with an iron hand, determining the best straws to drink from, and yet there will be no rules and everyone will do as they please. Understanding the behavior of Martians has always been beyond human strength.
