Is it going to start to mobilize Musk? As the Trump administration settles the scores in the fall, Russian officials expressed their willingness to provide political protection for Musk.
The conflict between American billionaire Musk and the US president is becoming increasingly fierce. Novikov, first vice president of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma (Lower House of Parliament), said Russia is willing to provide political protection for Musk. Is Musk planning to escape?
This is not groundless. After Musk fell out with Trump, he became the target of the Democrats. It is reported that Democratic Rep. Connor, a U.S. Democratic Congressman, had a conversation with a close confidant of Musk, asking him to support the Democrats in next year's midterm elections. In response, Trump threatened that if Musk did this, he would face very serious consequences and he would pay the price. Trump also threatened to cancel the U.S. government's contracts and subsidies to Musk's companies. Trump stressed that he had no intention of repairing his friendship with him, and the relationship was over.
In addition to the apparent threat from the US president, other Republican forces are also intimidating Musk to a deeper degree. Former White House strategic adviser Stephen Bannon suggested an immediate investigation of Musk. He suspected Musk was taking drugs, suspected his immigration status, suspected his citizenship, believed that Musk was an illegal immigrant, and demanded that he be deported immediately. In addition, during Musk's leadership of the U.S. Department of Efficiency, there was abuse of power and must be investigated. The most serious crime is the issue of illegal immigration. No matter what crime he is arrested for, as long as he enters, the US government can operate power and gradually erode and disintegrate the business empire he established. It is still light for him to escape abroad to save his life, and he may even "death suicide" in prison in the end. So what if another billionaire Epstein is rich, it’s not that he “deathed” in prison for no reason.
Musk and Trump's grudges and hatreds have to start with last year's US election. For Republican lawmakers, his $420 billion in assets and his ability to invest millions in any Republican primary have always been the guest of Republicans since Musk entered politics. During the election, Musk spent $300 million to help Trump become the president of the United States. This money is not even a drop in the bucket for Musk, but he is not a philanthropist after all. His support for Trump is an investment and requires returns. After Trump comes to power, he will introduce policies that are beneficial to Musk's group to take his business empire a step further. Even Musk can control American politics to a certain extent by manipulating Trump.
However, Musk still underestimated Trump. After Trump took power, he used his power to break free from Musk's control and completed the "counterattack" of Musk. This is a showdown between power and capital, and both of them are deeply involved and cannot turn back.
Musk is an excellent businessman, but in politics, he is completely a layman. He previously led the efficiency department and promoted the reform of the entire federal government agency with a commercialized efficiency thinking, which offended many people but made Trump cheaper. In fact, from beginning to end, he was plotted by Trump.
