Elon Musk has not exactly jumped to fame now. The tycoon, the richest man in the world according to Forbes, was already news on a recurring basis for his business projects. He is the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and X. Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election has also made him a very relevant figure in the political arena.
Musk's weight in the White House has received criticism, including from Senator Elizabeth Warren. "Nobody elected Elon Musk. While Donald Trump allows Musk to access people's personal information and shuts down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also suffer the consequences," she commented on social network X.
Warren's words, senator from Massachusetts, did not take long to get a response. Elon Musk did not respond directly to the politician's statements, but he did retweet the message of Rogan O'Handley, a lawyer with a strong presence in social networks, with ideas close to President Donald Trump.
The message from DC Draino, as he is known in the media, is as follows: "Democrats keep saying, 'Nobody elected Elon Musk.' Yes, we did. Elon was very visible with Trump and we elected Trump to use Elon to clean up the corruption in our government. We voted for all these people to do exactly what they are doing."
Elon Musk's role in Donald Trump's government is not merely symbolic. The mogul is actually in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency, with the acronym DOGE, like his cryptocurrency, and has already announced major cuts. The president has described him as a great "cost-cutter" and is pleased with the work done so far.
