Elon Musk provoked: clearing of the US authorities

“Elon cannot and will do nothing without our consent,” said Trump to journalists and added: “If there is a conflict, then we will not let him get around.”

Musk, the richest man in the world, erratic multi-entrepreneur and after the private investment of around $ 290 million in Trump’s presidential election campaign something like the all-purpose consultant and first buddy in the White House will have smiled at the sentence. The reality looks different.

Musk, actually only This has been commissioned to identify savings potential in the state apparatus by 2026, has been producing one conflict after the other for days. Common bracket of his solo proceeds: why still the separation of powers?

That the state Development aid agency USAID is shredded, is largely due to Musk’s demolition pear rhetoric. He spoke of a “devilish”, “Marxist” event that “die“ must.

The democratic opposition reacted indignantly on Musks work in the Ministry of Finance. There, the electric car and rocket manufacturer of Minister Scott Bessent Computer access fought for the All Saints’ Day: the transfer system with which the “treasury” annually six trillion dollars moved; to federal officials, ministries, companies and tax citizens. The system contains sensitive data to which only a few top officials have access. One of them has already resigned in protest. Trump’s “Departement of Government Efficiency” (Doge), a colorful bunch of young computer wizzards around 25 years, clicked into the system without security checks and controls and is now sitting on the source to initiate hard reforms every hour.

But Musk has no official mandate. These tasks belong in the care of the congress. Nevertheless, Musk will be releasing entire government areas, the Ministry of Education soon, and ends the employment relationships of hundreds of people to shoot up. “None of this,” said a constitutional lawyer in Bethesda of this newspaper, “is legal.”

The Historian Douglas Brinkley Looks great disaster: “There is not a single instance that takes Musk accountable. This is a harbinger of the destruction of our institutions. “

According to the New York Times, Brinkley’s analysis is shared by high -ranking government officials, even those that Musk’s furor actually find good. They confirm behind the hand that Trump’s people never brake. “He enjoys complete freedom to do what seems appropriate to him.”

Holiday related attitude?

It is hardly available. Musk often enter the white house through a side entrance and suddenly appear in meetings, report insiders. This creates bizarre arbitrary files. Musk explained that he deleted a free program by the tax authority “Internal Revenue Service (IRS)” for submitting taxes. In contrast, Finance Minister Bessent in his Senate hearing made it known to further offer the digital service.

Some muscients are currently recessing and analyzing the Federal Government’s expenses and contracts. Artificial intelligence should decide what can and can stay.

Four complaints are already pending

Unions and personnel associations do not want to accept the billionaire’s self-fermented capers: they have been moved to court. Four complaints are already pending, more are added. Goal: to limit Musk’s radius’ and to make it liable (and thus Trump).

This is not enough for the publicist and historian Garret Graff. He sees a “veritable coup d’état” in the creation. Musk had “risen to the almost undisputed, non -elected head of government within a few days. Graff has been described how Musk’s troops suddenly give instructions to civil servants and forced the resignation of those who do not appear loyal enough to them.

His conclusion: Elon Musk practically took control of the administrative state.
