Musk’s influence over mass firings in the federal government

Season 2025 Episode 7 | 17m 56s

President Trump’s decision to order mass firings in the federal workforce indicates not only his loyalty to billionaire Elon Musk, but to a revolutionary idea about the role of government itself. The panel discusses the relationship between Trump and Musk and the ideology driving many of Trump’s policy decisions.
