Analysis: Elon Musk is fighting to save America from a monstrous system created by the Democratic Party, starting with President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson built a powerful bureaucracy of unelected “experts” and appointed allies to lifetime judicial positions. This bureaucracy-judiciary alliance has been working to replace God-given rights and natural law with centralized control, done by gradually, quietly tearing down traditional institutions and constitutional limits over the decades. President Trump, with Elon Musk’s help, is working to destroy this corrupt, Marxist monstrosity and restore America’s core values, despite strong opposition from Democrats who gave birth to and benefit from this power. President Trump will be remembered as a great president for this battle (Life, Liberty & Levin)
