Musk’s “Departure”: PR Stunt or Beginning of a Reign of Terror?
The narrative of Elon Musk’s departure from his advisory role with the Trump administration is misleading. His departure stems from the 130-day limit on his “special government employee” status and the subsequent required financial disclosures, not a genuine severing of ties. Trump, Vance, and Musk himself have indicated his continued involvement. This convenient framing benefits various political factions, obscuring far more significant issues such as the Trump administration’s escalating human rights abuses and rampant corruption.
