Elon Musk’s Sudden 'Grip' on U.S Govt. –Is Trump Allowing Private Billionaire to Overthrow Democracy

Elon Musk, the tech billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, has made waves in Washington D.C.

After assuming control over vast swaths of the U.S. government.

Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, Musk has upended the federal bureaucracy, with critics accusing him of orchestrating a “plutocratic coup.” His unprecedented actions include halting major federal programs, gaining access to sensitive information, and even controlling the U.S. payment system.

Musk’s growing influence has sparked concerns of a constitutional crisis, with many questioning the implications for democracy and government accountability.

Is this just another eccentric move from the world's richest man, or is there a more dangerous agenda at play?

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

Trump's BIG Win Breaking: Mexico hands over notorious cartel bosses to US | Know The Gangsters

Mexico has extradited 26 top cartel leaders to the U.S. under a deal with the Trump administration, including Los Cuinis leader Abigael González Valencia and Roberto Salazar, accused in a 2008 deputy killing. The U.S. has designated the CJNG cartel as a foreign terrorist group but agreed not to seek the death penalty. President Sheinbaum reaffirmed cooperation while ruling out U.S. military action in Mexico. The move comes amid tariff negotiations, with Trump delaying a planned hike following talks with Mexican leadership. #Mexico #Trump #Cartel #CJNG #LosCuinis #Extradition #CartelLeaders #DrugWar #HomelandSecurity #Tariffs #AbigaelGonzalezValencia #RobertoSalazar #USMexicoRelations #BreakingNews #DEA #FBI #BorderSecurity #ForeignTerroristOrganization #USPolitics #CrimeNews #JusticeDepartment #PamBondi #Narco #OrganizedCrime #TrumpAdministration #SecurityCooperation #MexicoNews #InternationalCrime #TariffTalks #Sheinbaum #CartelCrackdown Also Read Trump Warns of Severe Consequences If Putin Does Not Agree To Stop War After Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-warns-of-severe-consequences-if-putin-does-not-agree-to-stop-war-after-summit-7829263.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Warns Of ‘Very Severe Consequences’ If Putin Continues Ukraine war :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-warns-of-very-severe-consequences-if-putin-continues-ukraine-war-7829199.html?ref=DMDesc President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.346~

President Donald Trump has invoked the Home Rule Act to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department, deploying 800 National Guard troops and placing operations under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Federal agents from the DEA, FBI, and Border Patrol are embedded in local policing, despite crime rates being at a 30-year low. Experts say this unprecedented move applies only to D.C., though Trump’s broader agenda includes expanding federal support for law enforcement, rolling back accountability measures, and dismantling diversity programs nationwide. #Trump #WashingtonDC #PoliceTakeover #NationalGuard #DCLawEnforcement #MetropolitanPolice #HomeRuleAct #PamBondi #FederalControl #LawEnforcement #USPolitics #BreakingNews #PoliceReform #CrimePolicy #Accountability #PoliceSupport #FBI #DEA #BorderPatrol #MPD #LawAndOrder #DCNews #PolicePowers #FederalAuthority #PoliticalNews #TrumpOrders #PublicSafety #PolicePolicy #DOJ #DCPolitics #USNews Also Read President Trump to Push Putin for Peace in Ukraine During Alaska Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/president-trump-to-push-putin-for-peace-in-ukraine-during-alaska-meeting-7828161.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is Trump Really Upset With India?
