Experts Warn of Musk-Led Coup, Urge Immediate Action
Elon Musk, lacking formal authority, has gained control over significant portions of the U.S. federal bureaucracy, including access to the Treasury Department’s $6 trillion payment system. This access was granted after the highest-ranking Treasury official resisted, subsequently being forced out. Musk’s team also controls the Office of Personnel Management and General Services Administration, raising concerns about potential state capture and misuse of sensitive taxpayer data. Critics warn of potential implications for upcoming tax cuts disproportionately benefiting corporations and the wealthy, and of the risk of economic instability due to Musk’s actions.
