Trump’s Turn to Bask in Musk’s Reflected Glory

November 20, 2024

The partnership between President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk took centre stage this week as they attended a SpaceX Starship launch in Texas.

While the rocket's booster was ditched into the Gulf instead of landing, the event showcased Space X's innovation and Musk’s growing influence in U.S. policy.

Trump has tapped Musk to co-lead a new Department of Government Efficiency, highlighting their shared vision to disrupt traditional systems.

Critics, however, warn of conflicts of interest as Musk’s role in national security, space, and electric vehicles could benefit from his proximity to political power.

The alliance, blending politics and business, promises both opportunities and ethical challenges.
