Elon Musk has been elected head of the Department of Government Effectiveness. The business leader also has a strong opinion on France.
Elon Musk is a very present character on the media scene. Friend as pig with Donald Trumphe was even elected minister for his new government. A more than surprising appointment, for a newly created ministry: that of Government Effectiveness. The tycoon will therefore have to help the 47th President of the United States to “dismantle the American bureaucracy”. This, while slashing excessive regulations”and in “cutting unnecessary spending”. Its objective will also be to “restructuring federal agencies”. A job, in short, for the one who wanted to send Anne-Sophie Lapix to the roses…
Elon Musk forever shocked by the French
We know that Elon Musk has a very particular opinion on France and its fellow citizens. He who does not have his tongue in his pocket was also received by our dear President of the Republic a little earlier this year. But this is not the first time that the CEO of Space X, Tesla and X (ex-Twitter), said to be very friendly with P. Diddy, has had things to say about France. Very aware of the news, he reacted on Twitter after a series of riots and fires. Particularly in the Marseille library, where everything was ransacked. An incredible barbarity, denounced on social networks.
This gesture which disgusted the billionaire
“Burning libraries is sacrilege” said Elon Musk in the summer of 2023. This followed a vast wave of chaos following the death of Nahel, 17, shot by law enforcement. The rag burned between citizens and the government. The affair caused a stir and alerted all public authorities. Including abroad, given the reaction of the new head of Government Effectiveness. This happened, of course, well before this appointment. But it should be remembered that the toll had been heavy, with more than 3,000 fires declared and 500 infrastructures damaged. Without forgetting the victims, among the police and gendarmes, and the multiple arrests, which led to this feeling of chaos in France.
Donald Trump president: this important role that Elon Musk will have to play
IF Elon Musk is going to become a major player in American politics, he will perhaps have a role to play with France. Indeed, Donald Trump’s policy aims to torpedo the current system and to “send shockwaves”
which will have a certain impact on diplomacy and the foreign scene. A presidential press release also compares the creation of the new ministry with the Manhattan Project, relating to the nuclear bomb… Yes, just that. Do we have reason to worry? Or is it nothing more and nothing less than a crazy communication stunt… Or is it just perlimpinpin powder? Only the future will tell us. Next January, Donald Trump will officially take over the Oval Office. In the meantime, business to follow…
