#TrumpVsMusk The recent conflict between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is not just a duel of multi-billionaire egos, but a crack that reveals the fragility of the nexus between economic power and political influence in the U.S. As a critical analyst, I believe that this clash evidences the dangerous dependence of the political system on technocratic figures, who can move markets or alter the course of key legislations with simple statements. Musk, by funding and then attacking Trump, demonstrates how private capital can play with public stability.
