Before Donald Trump could even set foot in the Oval Office, Elon Musk demonstrated who truly holds power in America. A bipartisan budget deal, painstakingly negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson to prevent a government shutdown, was dismantled—not by lawmakers or voters, but by Musk’s posts on X. The billionaire launched a relentless attack against the bill, forcing Trump and House Republicans to fold under the pressure.
This episode lays bare the devastating impact of the Citizens United decision. Once framed as a victory for free speech, it has instead cemented the rise of oligarchic governance. Musk, emboldened by the fortune he poured into the election, wasted no time asserting his dominance, collecting on his investment before Trump could even be inaugurated.
For those who backed Trump as a "tough guy" ready to take on the establishment, this serves as a stark reality check. Musk’s sway proved greater than the will of elected representatives or the resolve of Trump himself. This is no longer a government of the people but of the billionaires who pull the strings.
The illusion is gone, and it’s clearer than ever who truly runs the show.
America, meet your new unelected ruler.
