Deep dives

The Potential Impact of Elon Musk in Politics

Elon Musk's role in the upcoming administration raises questions about his potential influence in Washington. Predictions suggest Musk might last around 330 days due to his unique position as Trump's wealthiest contact, which could afford him some political leverage. While there is skepticism regarding Trump’s past treatment of Musk, his association with Trump now indicates a strategic partnership given Musk's influence in electric vehicles and renewable energy. However, there are concerns that Musk may revert to past controversies, and whether he can truly navigate the complex political landscape remains debatable.
