Unfortunately Musk didn't get bullied out of politics, his office was always meant to expire at the beginning of May. He achieved what he set out to do: dismantling federal government completely to make deruglation, tax avoidance and corruption much easier.
This is just him doing the typical right wing martyrdom whining whenever somebody criticises them.
You are a presidential term too late. In this term he doesn't have to distract anybody, because he knows he can do whatever he wants without any repercussions. He doesn't do distractions anymore.
Every time a court rules against the Trump administration it becomes a "is this the one where he enacts his coup?"-moment. Probably isn't there yet, he needs to install a few more crucial stooges in various posts, but he is definitely getting there. Making his oligarch backers profit billions from his tariff scheme certainly was a good way for him to secure their backing for whatever he has planned.
He has been insane his entire life. He just is at a point now where it gets to unfold much more freely than it ever has, because he has been crowned de facto king of everything.
Trump is chaotic and unpredictable. His actions are mainly decided by personal greed and petty whims and grievances prone to change from one day to the other. But there is one constant in his behaviour since at least 2016, and that is his allegiance to Putin. He has never once convincingly criticised him, and everything he has done which involved Russian interests has always been in favour of Russia.
Very much depending on the topic. For specialised niche subjects, which are usually the ones students choose for final papers, literature can be very scarce, and 1994 would be fairly recent. For my specialised field the main study (which is still being cited frequently) is from 1870.
I switched to it a couple of years ago, with the expectation that I had to resort to google in more complex search instances. But very soon I found out that ddg did the job, and my "alternative" google searches did not turn up anything better, quite the contrary in fact, and I haven't been back since.
Don't be ridiculous. Musk is part of the oligarchs controlling Trump.
