The facade of who runs the government is gone. Yesterday, we saw something that has neverhappened before.
Elon Musk stood behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, answering questions from reporters as if he were the president himself. He wasn’t just sitting in on a meeting — he was running it. That has never happened before in American history.
And what was he doing? Justifying his illegal cuts to government agencies, explaining away his blatant conflicts of interest, and — without a hint of irony — calling hard-working civil servants in the bureaucracy an “unelected fourth branch.” But here’s the truth: Elon Musk is the unelected one. And now he’s making decisions that impact all of us.
This is a battle for democracy itself. We cannot let unelected billionaires control our government. Let’s fight back.
