On a podcast with BBC’s Nick Robinson, Meta’s president of world affairs, Nick Clegg, talked about how Elon Musk is “enjoying an outsized function in each the election and now the formation of the brand new U.S. administration.”
Clegg mentioned he thinks that Elon Musk has a “alternative” in the case of his political future: to be an “avid and well-heeled supporter” or to develop into a “puppet grasp, going properly past Trump, deciding who the following Republican candidate ought to be and the one after that, and so forth, so forth.”
He stopped in need of saying the SpaceX billionaire is a risk to democracy, however he did say that being a “puppet grasp” who influences candidate choice for years to come back is “fairly totally different to the overall custom of American democracy.”
