In an analysis of the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second term, tech writer Paris Marx elaborates on Elon Musk's significant influence as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Under Musk's leadership, government programs were drastically cut, and he managed to evade significant legal challenges to his businesses. Marx warns that this model of governance prioritizes efficiency while undermining civil service, potentially spreading to political landscapes abroad. He also mentions Canadian tech executives aiming to restructure their federal government similarly, indicating a concerning trend in global governance.
