Musk on the cover of Time: Is he starting a war with Washington?

Time magazine has featured an image of Elon Musk sitting at the desk of the U.S. president on its cover.

The article, titled "Inside Elon Musk’s War with Washington", details a growing conflict between the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Musk, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

According to Time, DOGE has already taken control of digital services and established influence within the federal human resources department. Musk, meanwhile, has shown that he will not tolerate resistance.

The magazine notes that Musk seemingly answers only to Donald Trump, who has allegedly given him broad authority to reshape the government according to his agenda.

Musk’s actions have sparked strong opposition from the Democratic Party, and Time suggests that this conflict could determine the future of the U.S. government and the balance of power within it.

It is worth noting that in November 2024, Donald Trump appointed Elon Musk as the head of DOGE. At the time, Trump stated that the department would help eliminate $6.5 billion in government waste and fraud annually. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
