Musk is fast becoming the tech bro equivalent of an African warlord: unpredictable, unrelenting, and unabashedly self-righteous. Musk’s journey into political theatrics began at home, in the United States, where he has gleefully upended traditional power structures. His takeover of Twitter—sorry, X—wasn’t just a rebranding exercise; it was a declaration of war against the establishment. From shadowbanning critics to amplifying far-right rhetoric, Musk has turned his platform into a digital echo chamber for chaos. By threatening Republicans for not supporting his libertarian fantasies and whispering economic advice into Donald Trump’s ear, Musk has positioned himself as a kind of super president, untethered by any electoral mandate but wielding significant influence nonetheless.
Musk Targets World War Rivals—and the 1966 World Cup Finalists
Musk’s transformation from tech mogul to political influencer began in the United States, where his close ties to incoming President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have cemented his status as an informal yet highly influential adviser.
From reshaping Twitter—now X—into a megaphone for his libertarian and populist ideals to championing hard-right policies on immigration and federal spending, Musk has become a de facto political player. His tweets regularly serve as policy trial balloons, amplifying far-right talking points and creating division within the Republican Party.
In one such example, Musk recently clashed with Trump loyalists over immigration policy, urging mass deportations while simultaneously critiquing the inefficiencies of existing enforcement mechanisms. This sparked a feud within the Trump camp, with some MAGA loyalists accusing Musk of overstepping his bounds. Despite the friction, Musk’s influence on the administration’s priorities—especially regarding deregulation and fiscal austerity—remains undeniable.
