Earl Ofari Hutchinson
The burning question political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson notes that has been endlessly asked about Elon Musk is does he or Trump run the show in in the Trump camp? And will he be the power behind the throne in the Trump White House?
Musk has been tagged as “the shadow president,” “President” Musk, and the “Trump kingmaker.” This is not a mocking, pejorative, or frivolous question, especially says Hutchinson when the man in question was by far the world’s richest at the time of the 2024 presidential campaign. A man who spent more on getting Trump back in the White House than any other single individual during that campaign.
In Musk-Buying Trump, Bigotry and America political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson takes a revealing look at the world’s richest man. Who he is and the benefit and danger he poses to American politics. He details how much of a political game changer he sought to be. He assesses Musk’s none to concealed toxic racial and gender baiting.
Hutchinson asks and answers the question what danger Musk poses to spew bigotry and intolerance by turning X into an open platform for propagating any view no matter how inflammatory. In Musk-Buying Trump, Bigotry and America, Hutchinson presents a fascinating and frightening picture of how one man with unimaginable wealth can try to buy a president and the nation.
