Famous historian sides with MAGA supporters, predicts trouble for Donald Trump, cites this as the main reason

Eminent and renowned Yale historian Timothy Snyder has raised some severe concerns about Tesla CEO Elon Musk's increasing influence over US President- elect Donald Trump as he prepares to take office for a second term, reported The Guardian.

According to The Guardian, Timothy Snyder put an emphasis on the fact that while US President- elect Donald Trump is often perceived as wealthy, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's financial power is more significant while suggesting that Donald Trump supporters should be wary of this dynamic. Adding onto that, he also noted that Elon Musk has financially supported Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign while playing a crucial role in shaping the political strategies including influencing the selection of US Vice-Presidential candidates.

Timothy Snyder also expressed that the relationship could lead to discord within the upcoming US President- elect Donald Trump administration as Tesla CEO Elon Musk's ambitions and financial backing may overshadow the authority of Donald Trump, asserted The Guardian. He also described the situation as reminiscent of Russia in the 1990s where a less wealthy President was surrounded by powerful oligarchs.


Also, Timothy Snyder humorously suggested naming the new administration ‘Muskotrumpovia’ while highlighting Tesla CEO Elon Musk's dominance in this partnership.

US President- elect Donald Trump, however, dismissed all sorts of claims that he has ceded any Presidential power to Elon Musk while labeling such notions as a ‘hoax’, noted The Guardian. In spite of this, Elon Musk's involvement in policy discussions and his role in negotiating budget matters have raised severe alarms among political observers regarding the implications for US governance and foreign policy.
