CHAPTER

Fish Trafficking and Political Partnerships

This chapter examines an unusual crime wave in Chile involving the trafficking of salmon, then shifts to SpaceX's starship launch in Texas and the burgeoning partnership between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. It explores the implications of Musk's integration into Trump's political sphere, contrasting his business strategies with historical figures and discussing potential consequences for U.S. governance and global dynamics. The chapter raises critical questions about crony capitalism, conflicts of interest, and the role of major business figures in politics amid a societal shift against established institutions.
