Historian Sounds Alarm: Elon Musk Orchestrating a Coup
Yale historian Timothy Snyder characterizes Elon Musk’s actions within the Trump administration as an ongoing coup, leveraging technology and data access to effectively seize power without formal authority. Snyder argues that Musk’s influence surpasses even that of President Trump, controlling access to federal government systems. This “digital coup,” if unacknowledged, threatens democratic processes and human rights. While President Trump claims oversight, opposition from Democrats is anticipated.
