Elon Musk has backed the far right in Germany while perpetrating terrible falsehoods against UK Prime Minister from Tommy Robinson with allegations of gang rapes by British Pakistani men.
His influence – simply because he’s the richest man on the planet – is so enormous because Trump worships money more than any other factor.
America was always a Military Industrial Complex death machine but now Trump’s United States of Wounded Masculinity has elected a naked Plutocracy…
Trump is stacking his White House roster with uber-rich backers
- President-elect Donald Trump is filling his next administration with billionaires and other mega-wealthy figures.
- The richest by far is Elon Musk, whom Trump has tapped to co-lead a bespoke advisory group tasked with slashing purported government waste.
- Some of Trump’s most affluent other picks include Warren Stephens, Stephen Feinberg, Kelly Loeffler, Jared Isaacman, Howard Lutnick, Linda McMahon, Scott Bessent and Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Donald Trump’s first administration was chock full of super-rich figures whose combined wealth exceeded $5 billion, marking an unprecedented marriage of money and executive power.
Trump’s second term could make that total look like chump change.
More than half a dozen of the Republican president-elect’s picks for his incoming administration are either confirmed billionaires or widely speculated to be. Numerous others are multi- or centimillionaires.
The richest by far is Elon Musk, whom Trump has tapped to co-lead a bespoke advisory group tasked with slashing purported government waste.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is the world’s wealthiest person, with estimates placing his net worth above $346 billion and as high as $362 billion.
Vivek Ramaswamy, the entrepreneur and former presidential candidate working with Musk on the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, is worth $1 billion, according to Forbes.
The nonprofit Americans for Tax Fairness last month estimated that the average net worth among Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and his top appointees is $616 million.
For comparison, Forbes estimated the total net worth of President Joe Biden’s entire Cabinet at $118 million. And the tax group’s analysis is likely a low-ball estimate, since it came before Trump announced a slew of other highly affluent picks.
In the past week, he has picked billionaire financial services CEO Warren Stephens as his ambassador to the UK, billionaire investor Stephen Feinberg as deputy defense secretary, and venture capitalist David Sacks as his crypto czar.
Trump also picked Kelly Loeffler, a former U.S. senator who was reportedly considered the likely richest person on Capitol Hill while in office, to lead the Small Business Administration.
The same day, he chose billionaire CEO Jared Isaacman to head NASA.
Over the weekend, he selected Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, as his choice for U.S. ambassador to France.
The newcomers join an array of other super-wealthy Cabinet picks, including billionaire Howard Lutnick for Commerce secretary, WWE Co-founder Linda McMahon for Education secretary and Scott Bessent for Treasury secretary.
Trump also has picked billionaire Massad Boulos, the father-in-law of Trump’s daughter Tiffany, as a top Middle East advisor.
And Trump chose Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Oz, as of 2022, was worth as much as $300 million, according to a New York Times analysis of a financial disclosure Oz filed during his failed bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
…Trump’s brand of Orange Fascism has used the UNDERmensch to empower the UBERmensch.
Trump has appointed the most Ghoulish Cavalcade of Political Circus Freaks imaginable to his Cabinet.
It is a Rogues Gallery of Supervillains, people, who are acolytes and loyalists before they are decent people.
The manner in which the woke made our side of politics seem like a sad joke of pronoun word salads has had terrible consequences. The woke middle class left spent too much time cancelling men and then realised they didn’t have anyone left to vote for them.
The Left have been tricked into a Culture War to replace Class War and the new American Plutocracy is a result.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Again, this is all just testament to the rotten US political system. The beauty of Trump is that he has never been diplomatic enough to hide its bought and paid for rottenness. In fact he amplifies the crooked state of the US political system. The problem is the system, not the figurehead sitting atop of it!
Musk is the most dangerous man in the world .Trump has no idea he is just a front puppet for Musk who is now interfering in Germany and the UK .Clearly he sees himself as leader of the world .I left out the word free in front of world because it will never be the free world again as we are being taken over by a few people with obscene wealth .While he is trying to take over the world his empire might just collapse as I note sales of Tesla cars is dropping which might be the begining of the end .These people believe in endless growth so will soon be canabalising each other soon as the world economy continues to shrink .
That’s BS.
No it’s not. Add Klaus Schwab and the WEF into the mix as well. If Musk was doing the same but championing the left and progressive policies you would be cheering from the rooftops.
Very soon Tesla is going to be history. Its current delivery figures are dismal. Hasn’t produced a new sedan for some time. It can’t compete in global EV marketplace against superior Chinese vehicles. The Cybertruck is a joke.
Automatic driverless vehicle uptake just won’t happen, it’s a fantasy. Tesla solar [remember that?] not to be seen. Tesla underground pod transportation [remember that? my bet is that you probably never knew it existed].gone and never mentioned again.
It’s all been a ponzi scheme, long on unfulfilled promises, and all designed to get the Elon fanboys and fangirls to buy more stock, the value of which is the real source of Elon’s wealth and ability to borrow ever more, with his never-ending claims of “we’ll probably be able to do this or that by …”
I’m just disappointed hew couldn’t find a role for Hulk Hogan. Imagine the Huckster in the White House.
A little bit of respect for mr Musk please, he is, I believe, minor royalty. A Count no less.
500 applications for medical positions in nz in one day as people that can are flying the nest .
I rarely agree with Gordon but he is spot on with his opinion of Musk
Looks like their tax situation will be taken care of with this pick.https://youtu.be/Phb8oUnX3vk?si=WKrqo9JYwVaWGELY
So the MAGA supporters are getting duped who woulda thought.

Allegations of gang rape…there are multiple convictions. Amongst all this political bollocks that means there were crimes and victims. This is a scandal.
Musk is more scary and unhinged by the day. While Tesla may be tanking with its completely unrecyclable plastic cars, remember that Musk holds US security contracts. He owns Starlink. He supplies rockets. This Uber asshole is far too powerful with his far right beliefs and support, interfering opinions in other countries politics he has no connection to…he is the major overt threat to the world as it stands right now.
100% agree comet
Trump now eyeing Canada and Greenland, does this remind you of anyone else, who once had plans to take over neighbouring Poland?
