Piers Morgan recently declared Elon Musk the “second most powerful man in America,” a title that seems fitting by the day given Musk’s growing influence under President-elect Donald Trump. Musk isn’t just reshaping the tech landscape with his ownership of X (formerly Twitter); he’s now leading Trump’s brand-new Department of Government Efficiency, tasked with dismantling federal bureaucracy and cutting the fat from our bloated government. If that doesn’t strike terror into the hearts of Washington’s swamp creatures, nothing will.
Morgan didn’t mince words during his Tuesday appearance on Fox and Friends. “All these advertisers who tried to take him on and tried to score points, and tried to play the woke card against him—it shows me that Trump has now got this guy, Elon Musk, at his side,” Morgan said. “Advertisers who ran away from Musk are now realizing they bet on the wrong horse.”
Let’s not forget that Musk, much like Trump’s other cabinet picks, was once a Democrat before waking up to the madness of the woke mob. Now, Musk has become an indispensable ally for Trump, bringing his no-nonsense, results-driven approach to the federal government. Musk’s leadership of X, despite early advertiser backlash, has shown his ability to weather storms and emerge stronger—a skill the Department of Government Efficiency will undoubtedly require.
Musk’s influence isn’t confined to the halls of Washington or his sprawling tech empire. According to reports, Musk has been a near-constant presence at Mar-a-Lago since Trump’s victory. During a black-tie event, Trump joked, “He likes this place. I can’t get him out of here. And you know what? I like having him here too.” It’s clear that Musk isn’t just a key player in Trump’s administration but also someone the president-elect values personally.
Teaming up with former presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk’s mission is clear: obliterate unnecessary bureaucracy and streamline a government plagued by inefficiency. This isn’t just a win for conservatives—it’s a nightmare for Democrats clinging to their overgrown regulatory state.
As the Trump administration takes shape, it’s obvious that Musk isn’t just a tech mogul or an innovator. He’s a game-changer, someone who brings creativity, resolve, and a much-needed sledgehammer to the sprawling federal apparatus. With Trump and Musk working hand-in-hand, the Democrats’ house of cards is about to collapse under the weight of its own hypocrisy.
