Der Genes des Artikels war, dass ich versucht habe, einige dieser Dinge zusammenzubringen. Trump, seine Familie, Trump selbst. but also other people in the administration and other instances of people trying to buy influence or get out of court cases or get out of other tangles with the government through financial influence or financial relationships with the Trump family or with Donald Trump.

As well as this of what the Trump administration is doing to loosen all the laws against fraud and against corruption that we have in our system. And the list is Astonishingly long. You know, there are dozens and dozens of instances already and we're only three months into the administration. I mean, like it starts in December when the Trump family announces a big investment in Saudi Arabia.

You know, it continues with the Trump family's, you know, cryptocurrency business, which in effect almost anybody can be an investor in that business. And that's again a way to pay the Trump family. Und es gibt bereits einen Beispiel von jemandem, der ein großer Investor ist, der eine Art der zivilen Litigation gegen ihn erholt oder verabschiedet hat.

Wir wissen nicht, ob es einen Quid Pro Quo gab, aber es sieht sicherlich so aus, als hätte es einen gewesen. Also hat niemand versucht, das zu vermeiden. Elon Musks Konflikte von Interesse. Ich meine, Musk ist verantwortlich für die Führung von Leuten an Regierungsagenturen, die verantwortlich für die Regulierung seiner Unternehmen waren.

And he has a presence also in government agencies that are able to subsidize his companies or buy things from his companies, you know, whether it's Starlink or whether it's the State Department, I think, is buying armored Teslas. That's a grotesque conflict of interest of a kind that I also can't think of a contemporary precedent.

Again, rich people, influential, they get laws passed, they lobby for things and so on. But to actually have the owner of major companies that have major interests, have been heavily subsidized by the US government, personally going into government agencies and firing people and making policy there, I can't think of anything like that. I mean, that is...

Oligarchie of a kind you see in autocratic states. I mean, that's Russian-style oligarchy. Once again, it is a profound challenge to the rule of law, to the assumption that democracy needs transparency and accountability, and that people who are acting in the public interest should be acting in the interest of Americans. und nicht in ihren persönlichen finanziellen Interessen.

Ich meine, wenn Musk Leute auf die Regulatory Bodies der Verkehrssicherheit gefeuert hat, ist das, weil es gut für die Amerikaner ist oder weil es gut für Tesla ist? Und wenn es nur für Tesla gut ist, dann ist das eine Katastrophe für die Amerikaner.
