Your guide for what American choices 2024 means for Washington and the world
What is a good way to reduce the aircraft falls? Obviously, not fire experts in air safety and do not instill in paranoia in those who remain. Still, this is what Elon Musk does to the Federal Air Force Administration three weeks after the most deadly air collisions in America for years. His team moves quickly to break things, as if it were a Washington application. In addition to the Chinese cultural revolution, history offers a little parallel to the so -called attack by the Ministry of Government Efficiency on the State.
Musk’s declared a goal It is to reduce the deficit by exploiting waste, fraud and abuse. His model is 80 percent of Twitter staff he released after bought a place – starting with his trust and security group. If one is necessary in the mistake, he says, they can be restarted. This was indeed the case for hundreds of nuclear security officers who were shot at this month. It took a while to re -establish a staff that monitored American nuclear supplies because Doge replaced his contact information.
Bay between jobs that most federal employees do and how Musk shows them to Orwellian. He described US civil servants as radicals who use their bureaucratic powers for personal return blows. Now closed US ASSOCIATED was a “criminal organization”. Some of his staff were worth tens of millions of dollars, Musk said. In the meantime, the American treasury sent millions of social security checks to dead people, terrorists and fraudsters.
Musk has not yet shown evidence of the fraud he claims. His small team mostly young men are mostly software engineers. Have a scarce accounting expertise against fraud. They curls Washington with the six most deserving words in their new lexicon, “Should I call Elon?” Musk has used financial threats to change the votes of republican senators. He is happy to use his ominous power – including 218 million followers on his X platform – to accuse less personality for terrible crimes. What kind of chance has an unknown epidemiologist or inspector of food security against the unfiluted hostility of the richest man in the world?
Musk’s apparent political goal is to turn the US state into a personal instrument of Donald Trump. This can only be achieved through fear and strict loyalty tests. Doge said he would rent one employee for every four who were removed. Support for Trump’s goals is an implicit qualification. Men’s clothing gave civil servants to rejection of colleagues who still adhere to the now abolished Dei rules. The search for anonymous tips-the movement of people against each other is an autocrat.
Musk also has a business goal. In thought, Washington is released from a regulator that chokes us from entrepreneurship. That would be a worthy reason. In practice, it removes those whose expertise is to monitor fraud and abuse. This began with Trump’s shooting of 18 Generals Inspectors. He then moved to the Government Chief Ethics. Musk’s tribute began on the first day with the resignation of Mike Whitaker, the FAA chief, who announced his fines at Musk’s Spacex Rocket Company for security violation.
Last week, Musk trusted his closure to the consumer protection office with a post stated “CFPB RIP” and followed by tombstones. The agency, which was created after financially defrosting in 2008, protects consumers from fraud at banks and small printing by corporate America. He also regulated the Fintech platform. A few days earlier, Musk’s X has concluded a contract with Vis to launch an X Money Account – a key step towards the goal to be “app app”. Consumers will soon be able to get all their social media, bank transfers, support for AI and neo -Nazist propaganda from one platform.
Trump says Musk police of their own conflicts. That could be a surprise Narendra ModiThe Indian Prime Minister, who was rejoicing the head of a state -style meeting with a man -owned government last week. On the one hand were Modi’s officials. Faced with them were three musk newborn infants and one of their mothers. Trump did not see the problem with the fact that Musk was there “maybe” to talk. Musk wants India to pick up his blocks on Tesla and Spacex.
Do not take anything by nominal value. Plans for the release of thousands of internal income officers ahead of this year’s tax deadline, they doubt the honesty of a male in order to reduce the US deficit. The government cannot function without tax collection funds. Last week, Trump said, “The one who saves his country does not violate the law.” Musk believes he saves America. With this noble, he has no time for the law.
