Trump’s second term Washington, your guide for what tools for business and world
Tom Wolfe was the term “universe masters” as an ironic description of Wall Street traders. Elon Musk takes the idea. Mars hopes to colonize.
But the musk landed on the ground with a bump. After falling along with Donald Trump, the richest man in the world was not even a master of Washington – put the universe alone.
The collapse of the musk is part of a global example. The decades of globalization have created very rich oligarchs around the world. But there is only one way to bet during the collision of money and political power. Politics always turns out.
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and now are forcibly reminiscent of the real power in countries that are different from the oligarchs, which are developing independent political ambitions.
Victory policy The money may come as a surprise for both Marxists and over-capitalists – politicians will always dance to the melody of super riches.
However, as Mao observes, the weapon flows from the barrel. Control of the state’s body – army, government prosecutors, tax authorities – are still more than billions in the bank.
Of course, politicians need money, especially on the road. Elections are expensive and the customer list of authoritarian state. Mugkki Financial support, Trump’ın in the 2024 presidential election.
Vladimir Putin’s rising to power in Russia was facilitated by the richest people in the 1990s, hoping to be a guardian of the wide fortune. However, once the Kremlin was installed, Putin showed the cartridge oligarchs. Mikhail Khodorkovsky began to be the richest man of Russia, an independent political force, Putin was arrested. Khodorkovsky Was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Boris Berezovsky, who had a great fortune in Yeltsin years, was forced to exile and died mysterious cases.
Jack Ma, then the richest man of China, relatively lightly turned out. President Xi Jinping saw the magazine’s high profile and sometimes open images as a problem. MA, after a speech criticizing financial regulators in 2020, the share of the ant group, but stopped the MA disappeared from a public view. The Chinese Communist Party put the most prominent capitalist in the country.
MA was out of prison and began to re-social look. But Jimmy laiHong Kong Media Tycoat, which supports the movement of the area of democracy, is currently a long prison sentence.
Trach princess Mohammad bin Salman, a man who was very impressed by Trump in Saudi Arabia, also demonstrated the richest people. Tied with them wealthy businessmen Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh in 2017 – Anti-corruption in anti-corruption cleansing. Among them was the princess Waleed bin Talal, the most famous investor of the kingdom. The episode sent a ruthless power message that never forgotten.
One billionaire is the best way to insulate themselves in the whims of a country’s leader. This was the route that the late Silvio Berlusconi served as a controversial magnate and the Prime Minister of Italy. Bidzina Ivanishvili, a billionaire, the Prime Minister of Georgia, followed a similar route. Trump itself used his wealth to finance the entry of politics
But several oligarchs are the passage. Those who work on finges need to walk carefully. They must understand the boundaries to protect their wealth and freedom. In an incredibly rich Ambani family in India Narendra Modi retains close relations with the country’s Prime Minister. However, they did not want to challenge the leadership.
Mexico’s richest man Carlos Slim, rarely stated in the sequence of the presidents of Mexican presidents. Slim’s learned neutrality has allowed him to protect him in power regardless of the government. Even Worked with Cooperation, cooperating infrastructure projects.
Many Americans, the relationship between money and power in their countries, will be withdrawn in Turkey, Russia, Saudi Arabia or Mexico.
After all, the United States has been a long-established democracy with well-established property rights. The idea that the President can use the law to be used to vende the country’s richest man is still a little shock. However, the president has already supported the federal contracts and supports the democrats, he warned him “very serious results.”
Trump’s most intellectual viewers want to continue. Steve Bannon offered the nationalization of Musk Spacex, playing a decisive role in the federal space programs. He also called on the musk to investigate the immigration status with an opinion to deport him.
Confiscate? Exile? They all sound very American. But this is the American of Trump. Never say never.
