It will soon become clear whether there really is a “President Musk”, as the US media recently judged. What this means is the following: The tech billionaire, who cannot become president because of his South African origins, has become so powerful through his large donations and social media power that he secretly outvotes the elected US President Donald Trump. Now Musk has started a fight that will show his power. This separates the populist chaff from the right-wing extremist wheat in the MAGA movement (“Make America Great Again”).
