Elon Musk has gained enormous power

Elon Musk has become the centre of global news attention thanks to a fresh issue of Time magazine, on the cover of which he is depicted in the chair of the US President.

The publication dedicated an article to Musk's influence on state structures, highlighting that his team visited the USAID office in early February demanding access to internal documents. According to Time, this move became one of the reasons for the agency's closure.

The authors of the news report also analyse the scale of Musk's and his team's influence, noting that the head of the US Department of Government Efficiency is capable of going significantly further than previously assumed. Some US government agencies are already preparing for audits by the so-called DOGE team.

According to sources, Musk is currently accountable exclusively to Donald Trump, who entrusted him with the authority to reform the system of public administration. As noted in the news article, millions of civil servants are already feeling the consequences of these changes.
