Editorial: La Vanguardia

  • Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is amassing more authority and power in the U.S. government, particularly through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
  • The DOGE is not an official federal agency, meaning it does not require Congressional approval. This could pose problems of transparency and accountability.
  • Musk is also using his social network, X, to make politics abroad and promote far-right parties, especially in Europe.
  • Musk's growing power could create a fracture in the American rule of law, particularly if he refuses to fund programs approved by Congress.

Conclusion: Musk's increasing influence in American and foreign politics, combined with his ability to bypass Congressional oversight through DOGE, threatens the stability and transparency of the democratic system.
