Trump gave office to billionaires. Is it time for the rich to take care of the rich in the US?

After Donald Trump won the US presidential election, he started forming his administration. He has already appointed more than ten people to important positions. These appointments make it possible to predict the future policies of Trump as the President of the United States.

It is noteworthy that a week after Donald Trump won the election, he started appointing people who supported him to important positions. In particular, Trump announced that he will appoint billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who helped him during the election process, to head the new department.

After that, a number of publications wrote about the intention of the billionaires to carry out large-scale reforms in the US government.

It is noted that the main goal of entrepreneurs is to reduce state expenses, reduce the state apparatus and abandon the regulation of the economy. They proposed creating a department with the White House that would work to cut red tape, eliminate redundant regulations and restructure federal agencies. Musk and Ramaswamy want to start the changes by eliminating "unlawful" regulations through presidential directives, then reducing the number of government employees and streamlining the work of federal agencies.

The reform includes reducing the number of civil servants, dismissing redundant officials and helping to find jobs in the private sector. It is also proposed to move some government offices from Washington and introduce a five-day work week.

It is worth noting that recently Donald Trump had a telephone conversation with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Musk also participated in this conversation. This indicates that the businessman has a strong influence on the US president. At the moment, Elon Musk, who has become the richest person on the planet, undoubtedly contributed to Trump's victory in the elections. Trump won not only the White House, but also the Senate and the House of Representatives with the popular vote. Even before he officially entered the White House, Trump gave Musk the portfolio of the Department of Government Efficiency to reduce the influence of US federal agencies. The move was made under the pretext of reducing the US budget deficit ($1.84 trillion for fiscal year 2024).

Previously known for his electric cars (TESLA) and space exploration company (Space X), Musk has also been expressing his political views on Twitter. However, Musk, who bought Twitter in a $44 billion deal and renamed it X, felt X had taken a "too left-leaning and liberal direction." Because of this, he quickly reinstated many of the social network's banned accounts, including Trump's account, which was banned after the January 6, 2021 uprising.

Musk has waged a cultural and political battle in favor of conservatism and an anti-liberal worldview, supporting right-wing X accounts. Although the businessman said that the main purpose of his purchase of the former Twitter is to protect freedom of speech (the first amendment of the US Constitution), according to numerous internal reports and assessments of independent journalists, X (formerly Twitter) is engaged in spreading disinformation, misinformation and fake news. served. At the same time, the platform silences any critical voice that disagrees with Musk's vision.

According to American observers, X played an unprecedented role in Trump's victory. Algorithms here are "Let's Make America Great Again!" news and information glorifying Trump's agenda and personality was distributed under the slogan. This is a stark contrast to the mainstream media, where liberals supported Kamala Harris. It would be a mistake not to consider Musk's social network factor in the fact that the Republican candidate defeated his opponent in seven US states - Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada.

In addition, Musk also supported Trump financially by spending $200 million in those states to encourage voters to vote for him. He made statements such as "American democracy cannot survive without Trump" and "Democrats can take away your right to own a gun" and repeatedly urged voters to vote for Trump's candidacy. As a result, Trump and Musk have established a unique relationship that can significantly shape American politics, economy, and society.

Despite this, critics say that Musk's relationship with Trump is based on business interests. They argue that the businessman's companies, such as TESLA and Space X, have benefited from various government policies, and that his relationship with Trump may be based on financial interest rather than ideological alignment.

Musk, on the other hand, is not against Trump's unjust policy - banning Muslims from traveling to the United States and supporting Israel's genocide in Palestine.

This is because both businessmen have accused the Hamas resistance movement and Muslims of starting the war since the events of October 7th and the massacre in Palestine. They do not want to talk about the long-standing Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. In fact, since the 1940s, Zionist murders, occupations, and racial discrimination have continued. Americans like Trump and Musk, who see living in the lap of wealth and pleasure as their ultimate goal, know this but don't want to admit the truth.

In short, it is expected that Trump will continue his previous policy in his second term and try to strengthen it in some areas. Among these are his involvement with the Zionists and his controversial decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel during the previous presidency.
