No! Damn no! Never! The enemy of your enemy is still a corrupt plutocrat who wants to destroy democracy.
The second term, Donald Trump, was often a time of despair of liberals and left, so it was natural that there was a great joy in the rare good news: a very social and extremely unpleasant gap between the president and his main plutocratic ally Elon Musk. Trump/Musk has long been predicted because both men are brazen narcissists, prone to dirty public divorces with romantic and business partners. But the separation happened faster, more cruel and more cheerful than expected.
After just 114 days, Musk left work in the White House (where he so firmly put himself in the administration that he slept in government offices and brought his 4-year-old son to the presidency). Suddenly, last Thursday, Musk and Trump moved from dense friends to enemies. Will accused Trump of economic mismanagement and promoting the bill on taxation and issuance, which is “disgusting”. He too state The fact that Trump is “in Epstein’s files. This is a real reason if they have not been published.” Trump replied state“The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars is to stop Elon’s state subsidies and contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
While the entertainment value of Spat is encouraged, its actual political consequences are more ambiguous. Environment undoubtedly strengthens the opposition against Trump. As a medieval folk wisdom teach us“When the thieves fall out, honest men come on their own.” Trump and Musk, who together gathered to break the government for their own enrichment, is certainly thieves on a paramount scale. Their loss benefits honest.
But is it worthy (or at least less thief) to be coordinated with one of these two attackers? This is an idea that floats some well -known Democrats who want to recruit Musk to join the big popular front against Trump. Friday representative rou khan detach Road light“Having opposed Ilon against the irrational tariff policy, against the deficit that explodes Bill Trump, and the anti -scientist and the anti -immigrant agenda can help check the unconstitutional administration of Trump.
Khana is an anomaly that is engaged in this position because it is one of the most progressive members of Congress. His progressiveism sometimes feels tension with the fact that it also represents a silicone valley and seeks to remedy the violated union between the democratic party and the great technique. Prior to the 2024 elections, the Silicon Valley leaned against the Democratic Party, but a wider shift to the right by some outstanding billionaires, such as Musk, defeated this relationship.
Current Issue
In addition to Hana, most other supporters of the Democratic Party rapprochement were centrally or even conservative Democrats. Anthony Skaramucci, himself, the Trump himself, who was quickly fired and is now a critic of Trump, suggested that when the Democrats gave up left politics and attracted to the center, they could “return Elon Musk as a prodigal son.” The Democrat -Democrat Pundit Mathew Yarsias, who was closely agreed with the Biden Administration, suggested similar tips on X: “I feel that Jeffries and (Chuck) Sumer should give Elon Muscovial call and tell about the long -standing Democratic Party in Electricity.
These arguments are all the examples of hacking makeupism, a special, but actually deeply devastating. The logic here is the common realism: “My enemy’s enemy is my friend.” But in this case, the enemy of your enemy (musk) is as bad as no worse than your enemy (Trump). Both Musk, and Trump is the Plutocrats, intention to rob the presidency and humiliate democracy, but Moscow’s great wealth makes it greater. In twitter, musk threatened Republicans writing“Trump has 3.5 years left as a president, but I will be near 40 years.” This threatening message should scare not only GoP but also all Americans: the richest man warns that over the next four decades and more he will use his huge wealth to become a puppet that pulls the line and general elections.
Like David Wegel noted in Road light“Some Democrats believe that Musk could remain in his coalition if they paid him a little more respect – in particular, if Joe Biden invited Musk at the White House Electric vehicle at the beginning of its presidency. “This is a very Shallow Interpretation of Musk, whose Wild shift to the right is shaped by a variety of interwoven causes. Because of Racial Superiority Rooted in His Background As a White South African, A Commitment to Genter Norms that Makes Him Both to Procreate On A Mass Scale and Angry About of His Children, and the Natural Proclivity of the Ultrarich to the Social Darwinist economy.
Writer Kat Abugazalech, who works in the Chief Congress in Chicago, summed up the case against the conscientious with Musk writing“I cannot believe that any Democrat will think that an ally with Elon Musk. I will not take money from a guy who makes Hitler’s salute.”
In New republicGreg Sargent expanded At this main point, noting that the hostility of Trump/Moscow is really the battle between the two competing versions of the brutal right, and Muscles supports more radically insulted and anti-Velya:
After all, Musk would use scarce fears to soak the state more thoroughly than Trump, while Trump seems more oriented to a sharp decline in the wealthy tax burden and cut the security network to pay for it. They diverge, but mostly because they just get to different places in the same impulse spectrum. And all these impulses are leaning towards the same place – the sketch, which makes our society less egalitarian, more uneven, scanty, rigid and much more wild place.
For the Democrats to coordinate with the mask, they would have to do more than go to the center; They will have to move into the extreme right. Any alliance proposal from Musk is based on the prerequisite that the only way to combat Trump is to attack his case. This is a natural instinct among the elite Democrats (as evidenced not only by the height of the Cherney family in 2024 as the Democratic Party’s surrogates, but also to Chuck Sumer Recent Lambasting Trump for trying to coordinate a nuclear deal with Iran).
You can withstand both Musk and Trump like Bernie Sanders made on Friday in a message:
Trump’s right: The easiest way to save money is to eliminate “billions and billions” in Elon Musk’s corporate well -being. Law Musk: “The big, beautiful bill” Trump is a “disgusting abomination” that needs to be defeated. Let’s do both. It will be a win -win for America!
Democrats are shared not only about Musa, but also near the billionaires as a whole. The Centrical Democrats have the hope that the party can Win the support With “good billionaires” to combat bad billionaires. But the left and many progressives do not buy the concept of good billionaires as a class that is worth winning. They want the Democrats to return the work class. Become a mask buddy is the exact way to convince everyone that the Democrats will be uncertain and support the status quo at all costs.
