The article discusses Elon Musk's ongoing influence and the misleading narrative around his recent departure. It argues that Musk's ethos, which promotes the dismantling of governmental efficiency and capacity, is still very much alive through his loyal personnel and Trump’s administration. The piece highlights how Musk's philosophy aligns with a broader trend of deregulation and a dismissive approach towards governance, suggesting that the impact of his ideas will continue in a more systematic, yet less visible, manner.
Musk's departure is misleadingly framed as a reformer quitting; his ideology continues, remaining influential as personnel loyal to him persist in reshaping policies towards greater deregulation.
Musk's philosophy embodies a relentless desire to dismantle state capacity despite criticism and is intertwined with the business and political strategies adopted by Trump.
