Musk is at the forefront of Politics that matters, suddenly this man who migrated from South Africa into the United States few decades back has gained so much power that people think is massively unchecked.
Is he rewriting the blueprint of “How to acquire supreme power in a Democracy which is a Superpower”, How many breakthroughs and milestones will he need to reach an unreachable position.
Tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk has taken on many roles—Tesla CEO, SpaceX founder, and even self-proclaimed Doge father. But his latest move has left Washington insiders, and the financial world stunned. Reports suggest that Musk now has a significant level of oversight over the U.S. Treasury payment system, leading many to question whether his aggressive cost-cutting approach is expanding into the federal government.
What Bothered Musk in the Past that directly relates to Govt operated check bodies?
Musk’s history with federal agencies has been rocky at best. Back in the summer of 2018, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and several Tesla employees filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), accusing Tesla of unfair labor practices. The case revolved around a tweet from Musk’s personal account, which an NLRB judge later ruled as a threat—specifically warning employees that stock options could be at risk if they voted to unionize.
But Tesla isn’t the only part of Musk’s empire facing scrutiny. The company continues to battle allegations over Autopilot safety concerns and accusations of misleading investors about production capabilities. Meanwhile, SpaceX has been under investigation for allegedly improper dealings related to government contracts. Even Neuralink, Musk’s ambitious brain-implant startup, has found itself under the microscope due to ethical concerns surrounding human trials.
And it didn’t stop there.
On January 14, 2025, Musk found himself in legal trouble once again when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued him for failing to file the necessary paperwork after acquiring more than 5% of Twitter’s stock—a clear violation of securities law.
How Musk is Leveling the Score
Despite mounting regulatory pressure, Musk appears to be striking back in a big way. Sources indicate that he has quietly funneled around $200 million into a political action committee (PAC) aimed at supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The move, seen by many as a calculated power play, underscores Musk’s increasing influence in American politics and business.
With Trump now positioned to the White House, Musk’s Ambitions are taking shape steadily.
The Power of DOGE: A Powerful Promise with Hidden agenda
With Musk’s influence expanding into federal financial systems, a new entity—the Department of Government Efficiency which is completely controlled by Musk now.
DOGE (Department of Govt. Efficiency) is supposed to cut US Govt. spending by a Substantial amount eventually leading to Pause in Inflation and improving the overall functioning of the Economy.
DOGE has reportedly been granted the access to the Heart of US Democracy, access to US Treasury payment system has been granted, An Executive order was signed by President Donald Trump to grant unchecked power to Musk through DOGE.
Political Implications & Market Reaction
Trump’s decision to sign this order has already sparked controversy, with critics accusing him of catering to Musk’s influence for political gain. Some lawmakers are pushing for a review, arguing that the order disproportionately benefits Musk’s companies while potentially destabilizing financial regulations.
However, supporters argue that the move aligns with “America First” innovation policies, positioning the U.S. as a leader in digital finance and space exploration.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s stock jumped by 8%, and SpaceX saw a surge in investor interest. Cryptocurrency markets also experienced a ripple effect, with Bitcoin and Ethereum gaining momentum.
Is Elon Being as Transparent as He Promised?
Musk has long championed himself as a defender of transparency and free speech. However, recent events have raised serious questions about whether he is truly living up to that standard.
On Tuesday, the White House dismissed the inspector general of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)—a move that came just a day after the watchdog raised concerns over the DOGE-fueled dismantling of USAID’s operations. The agency warned that Musk’s influence had made it nearly impossible to track $8.2 billion in humanitarian aid.
The timing of the firing has led to speculation that Musk’s growing political power—combined with his unconventional approach to financial systems—could be reshaping the federal government in ways no one expected.
What’s Next?
As Musk continues to consolidate power across technology, finance, and now politics, the world watches closely. Will his push for efficiency and cost-cutting improve government operations, or is this just another chapter in his ongoing feud with regulators?
One thing is certain—whether in the corporate world or the federal government, Musk’s influence is only growing.
