Tesla's 8-Second Fine

This article on the World Socialist Web Site analyzes the political implications of Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump, particularly in the context of the 2024 election. It argues that Musk's embrace of Trump signals a coordinated effort by powerful capitalist figures to dismantle regulatory structures and further enrich themselves at the expense of the working class. The article highlights Trump's campaign promises, including mass deportations and the elimination of regulations, and links these policies to the interests of powerful figures like Musk. It suggests that Musk's financial involvement in the election, possibly through cryptocurrency like DOGE, represents a calculated strategy to destabilize government institutions and promote a more business-friendly environment. The article frames the alliance between Musk and Trump as a declaration of war against government agencies that impede corporate profits. It emphasizes the potential for increased exploitation of workers, environmental deregulation, and a broader assault on democratic norms if Trump were to win and implement his agenda with the backing of figures like Musk. It posits that the alliance represents a dangerous consolidation of economic and political power that threatens social and economic equality. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/03/11/tsla-m11.html
