The Illusion of Elon Musk’s Control Over...

Chris Cuomo
About this episode

Chris Cuomo breaks down Elon Musk’s growing influence in U.S. government, questioning whether Musk’s role with the White House's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) amounts to an administrative coup. Cuomo unpacks the legal limits of Musk’s authority, debunks claims that he can dismantle agencies like USAID or the Department of Education, and explores how Musk’s control over X amplifies his personal agenda. He also examines the shifting dynamic between Musk and Trump, why their alliance may be unstable, and what Musk’s track record with Twitter reveals about his claims to government efficiency.
