Tech tycoon and former DOGE chief Elon Musk’s political evolution has shifted to the right after he jumped into the election fray as a staunch ally of President Donald Trump on the campaign trail and ultimately as the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Musk’s conservative genesis on the public stage has put him at odds with the president as he rails against the One Big Beautiful Bill, which Trump has touted as legislation that would translate into big tax breaks for Americans across the pay brackets and subsequently called on Republican lawmakers to swiftly pass it. 

Musk, who is considered America’s wealthiest resident, is publicly criticizing the sweeping legislation just days after his departure from DOGE and the federal government. The «big beautiful bill» is currently making its way through the Senate and would fund Trump’s agenda, including strengthening border policies and ending taxes on overtime and tips. 

«I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,» Musk posted to X Tuesday. «This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.»

He added the next day that the bill’s «immense level of overspending will drive America into debt slavery!» This was followed by a stream of X posts calling on Americans to encourage their lawmakers to «kill the bill» as well as a «KILL BILL» meme of the 2003 movie with the same name.

Musk has found himself aligned with members of the House Freedom Caucus, which is considered the most conservative voting bloc within the lower chamber, as well as staunch fiscal conservatives in the Senate, such as Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Wisconsin Sen. Ron. Johnson, who have publicly rebuked the legislation. 

ELON MUSK ‘DISAPPOINTED’ BY TRUMP’S SPENDING BILL, SAYS IT UNDERMINES WHAT DOGE IS DOING 

Paul said Monday that its potential passage would increase the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, calling the bill a «terrible idea» that bucks conservative ideas.

The national debt currently stands at about $36 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office, an independent government agency, published a June report that the bill would increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion throughout the next decade. 

«I want the tax cuts to be permanent. But at the same time, I don’t wanna raise the debt ceiling five trillion,» Paul told CBS’ «Face the Nation» on Sunday. «The GOP will own the debt once they vote for this.»

Trump has admonished the criticism from fiscally conservative Republicans, arguing that Paul, for example, was on the verge of siding with the «Radical Left Democrats» and encouraging a 68% tax hike on Americans if he votes against the legislation.

«Rand will be playing right into the hands of the Democrats, and the GREAT people of Kentucky will never forgive him! The GROWTH we are experiencing, plus some cost cutting later on, will solve ALL problems. America will be greater than ever before!» Trump posted to Truth Social Saturday of Paul.

Musk, in an earlier public rebuke of the bill, remarked that he was «disappointed» it passed the House in May as it «undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.»

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that Trump is aware of Musk’s views on the bill, but that the legislation still has the president’s full endorsement, when asked by Fox News’ Peter Doocy about Musk’s X post claiming the bill was a «disgusting abomination.»

«The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill,» Leavitt said. «It doesn’t change the president’s opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill and he’s sticking to it.»  

Leavitt also pushed back in the briefing Tuesday that the Congressional Budget Office’s prognostication for the bill is likely wrong, citing a history of missing the mark on budget predictions. 

«The Congressional Budget Office has been historically wrong,» Leavitt said. «In fact, they predicted the Trump tax cuts from the president’s first term in 2017. Their prediction was wrong by half a trillion. Those tax cuts had nearly a half trillion dollars more of revenue than the Congressional Budget Office scored. And I would also point out, I don’t think many people know this, there hasn’t been a single staffer in the entire Congressional Budget Office that has contributed to a Republican since the year 2000. But guess what? There have been many staffers within the Congressional Budget Office who have contributed to Democrat candidates and politicians every single cycle.»

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., also slammed the report for employing static scoring as opposed to dynamic scoring, which in «layman’s terms is they don’t give us any credit for the extraordinary economic growth that will be spurred along by this bill.»

Static scoring evaluates the fiscal impact of a policy change without considering how the change will affect the economy overall, while dynamic scoring broadens the scope of a study to include how a policy change would affect the economy. 

FURTHER RIGHT

A White House official told Fox News Digital that Musk and Trump have historically seen eye-to-eye on political issues more than they differ, adding they continue to share many political views when asked if Musk has gone further to the right than Trump since his work within the administration.

Trump spoke publicly about Musk’s criticisms Thursday from the Oval Office during a meeting with the chancellor of Germany, remarking he was «disappointed» with Musk’s rebukes. 

«I’m very disappointed, because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people,» Trump said in the Oval Office. «He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out that we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate, because that’s billions and billions of dollars, and it really is unfair.»

«Elon and I had a great relationship,» Trump added. «I don’t know if we will anymore.»

Musk’s leadership of DOGE came to an official end May 28 as his time as a special government employee ran dry of its 130 predetermined days. While in the role, Musk became a common target of liberal ire as he led efforts to remove fraud, corruption and overspending from federal departments and agencies across the government, which included cutting government programs and mass layoffs. 

All in, the Department of Government Efficiency touts that it has saved an estimated $180 billion through initiatives such as grant or contract cancellations, workforce reductions or stamping out fraud. Musk’s efforts on DOGE have been celebrated by conservatives and Republicans, who frequently campaign on cutting government fat. 

«It is time to cut red tape, hold the unchecked federal workforce accountable, ensure programs are efficient, & work with @DOGE to tackle waste, fraud, & abuse,» House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., Comer posted on X in December 2024 ahead of DOGE’s official launch.

«Iowans elected me with a mandate to cut Washington’s pork!» Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said in December 2024. «From billion-dollar boondoggles to welfare for politicians and trillion-dollar slush funds, my decade-long investigations have exposed levels of abuse that are almost too insane to believe.»

POLITICAL SHIFT

The tech billionaire behind Tesla and Space X previously described himself as a Democrat and centrist before making a public political shift to the right amid Trump’s run for the presidency and inauguration – including repeatedly taking stances that fall in line with conservative ideology.

Musk endorsed Trump for the presidency in July 2024, after Trump faced his first assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. He later joined the political fray through campaign events promoting Trump’s candidacy in key battleground states. 

Before Trump’s win, Musk railed from the campaign trail that the federal government had become bloated with overspending and red tape that he said hampers private sector innovation.

«Tomorrow, I will tell the story of how SpaceX was forced by the government to kidnap seals, put earphones on them and play sonic boom sounds to see if they seemed upset,» Musk posted to X in October 2024, teasing he would elaborate on his government overregulation experiences from a campaign event.

Trump touted during the election cycle that Musk would likely serve as his «Secretary of Cost-Cutting» if he won re-election, teeing up fanfare around Musk’s anticipated efforts to take a hatchet to the federal government’s budget.

Musk’s political evolution, most notably when it comes to fiscal issues, followed the tech tycoon touting in 2018 on X, «True socialism seeks greatest good for all.» 

He added in 2020 that «socially,» he is «very liberal,» continuing that he is «economically right of center, maybe, or center,» the New York Times previously reported.

WHITE HOUSE STANDS BY TAX BILL AFTER MUSK CALLS IT A ‘DISGUSTING ABOMINATION’

In addition to slamming the «big beautiful bill» in recent days, Musk has posted a handful of X messages celebrating free market champion Milton Friedman and beloved conservative economist Thomas Sowell. 

As Trump’s tariff policies were rolled out in April, Musk posted a video clip of Friedman explaining that an item as simple as a pencil is the result of free market economics and supply chains across the world. Musk shared the video with no caption.

«Literally thousands of people cooperated to make this pencil,» Friedman, who died in 2006, was seen saying in the video. «People who don’t speak the same language, who practice different religions, who might hate one another if they ever met. When you go down the store and buy this pencil, you are, in effect, trading a few minutes of your time for a few seconds of the time of all those thousands of people.»

«The operation of the free market is so essential, not only to promote productive efficiency, but even more to foster harmony and peace among the peoples of the world,» he said. 

Musk also recently shared a quote from Sowell on the history of slavery in the U.S.

«It’s one of many evils that the Left tries to localize when it’s a universal evil,’» Sowell was seen saying in a video post on X that was reshared by Musk on Jan. 11 with the caption «True.»

Musk also doubled down on strong endorsements of the Second Amendment while on the campaign trail, posting on X in October 2024 that «tyrannical government» works to take guns from citizens in an effort to snuff out free speech.

«The right to bear arms is there to protect free speech and stop a tyrannical government from taking your rights away! That’s why the first thing that all tyrants do is disarm the people, just like Chavez did when he was first elected. After that, no more real elections in Venezuela,» Musk posted to his X account in October 2024.

Musk had previously praised America’s Second Amendment, including in 2022 when he said he «strongly (believes) that the right to bear arms is an important safeguard against potential tyranny of government.» 

His comments while on the campaign trail rallying support for Trump, however, found renewed praise among conservatives in 2024 as they found additional common ground with the tech billionaire.

A un año de la cuestionada reelección de Nicolás Maduro, represión y elecciones municipales bajo sospecha

Published

on


A un año de la cuestionada reelección de Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela celebra este domingo unas elecciones municipales marcadas por la amenaza de una fuerte abstención y una nueva ola represiva denunciada por la líder opositora María Corina Machado desde la clandestinidad.

El país elegirá a 335 alcaldes y 2471 concejales, en un nuevo proceso electoral sometido a una profunda desconfianza. La sociedad venezolana mantiene aún abiertas las heridas que dejaron los polémicos comicios del 28 de julio de 2024 que proclamaron la continuidad del modelo chavista entre persistentes denuncias de fraude.

Estas nuevas elecciones amenazan abrazar la misma apatía que caracterizó a las últimas elecciones regionales de fines de mayo, cuando solo votó el 42% del padrón electoral, según cifras oficiales. Para Machado, la abstención fue del 85%. Entonces, el oficialismo reivindicó una victoria aplastante.

Hoy el gobierno chavista se encuentra más aislado que nunca, en especial en la región, a pesar de su alianza estratégica con Rusia, China e Irán. “Lo paradójico es que Maduro presenta un mayor nivel de interlocución con la administración Trump que con sus pares progresistas iberoamericanos”, dijo a TN el opositor Jesús «Chuo» Torrealba, exsecretario general de la Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (MUD), antecesora de la mayoritaria Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD) que lidera Machado.

De hecho, Maduro logró un canje de prisioneros con la Casa Blanca, pero fue excluido de la reciente cumbre de mandatarios progresistas celebrada en Santiago y que contó con la presencia de los presidentes de Chile, Gabriel Boric; de Brasil, Luiz Lula da Silva; de Colombia, Gustavo Petro; y de Uruguay, Yamandú Orsi, así como del jefe de gobierno español, Pedro Sánchez.

Entre la apatía, una elevada inflación y denuncias de una nueva ola represiva

Las elecciones de este domingo se celebran en medio de una fuerte apatía, a pesar de los discursos optimistas del gobierno, en el poder dese hace más de 26 años.

Maduro anunció esta semana que la economía venezolana aumentó más del 6% en el segundo trimestre del año y dijo que el país lleva 17 trimestres continuos de crecimiento. “El año pasado crecimos nueve puntos, en 2023, 5,5; en 2022, que fue un cohete, crecimos 15. En el primer trimestre, nueve, y en este segundo trimestre por encima de seis”, dijo el gobernante.

Pero la dolarizada economía perdió casi el 80% de su tamaño entre 2013 y 2020 y hoy es considerada una de las más pequeñas de la región. La presunta recuperación, según alertan economistas consultados por TN, parte de un piso muy bajo. El país logró sortear el desabastecimiento, pero los precios de los hoy bien abastecidos mercados se miden en moneda dura.

Además, Venezuela lidera el ránking mundial de inflación con un índice interanual de 172% en junio. El bolívar, la moneda nacional, acumula este año una devaluación de 56%. El salario mínimo se mantiene en dos dólares, aunque llega a 130 mensuales con bonos que reciben los trabajadores estatales.

En ese marco de dificultades y bajo una fuerte oleada migratoria que sacó del país a más de 7 millones de venezolanos, la oposición denunció una nueva ola represiva.

“Alerta mundial. El régimen de Maduro desata brutal ola de represión: más de 20 desaparecidos y presos en 72 horas”, escribió María Corina Machado el martes en su cuenta de X. La líder opositora se encuentra en la clandestinidad tras denunciar un fraude masivo en las elecciones del 28 de julio de 2024, de las que este lunes se cumplirá un año.

Según denuncian activistas, aún hay cientos de detenidos políticos en las cárceles venezolanas tras la represión de las protestas seguidas a las cuestionadas elecciones presidenciales.

La ONG Comité por la Libertad de los Presos Políticos denunció también “nuevas detenciones arbitrarias” en el país tras la liberación de un grupo de detenidos bajo la mediación del expresidente español José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.

“Nos preocupa profundamente que, mientras algunas excarcelaciones se concretan, continúen ocurriendo nuevas detenciones arbitrarias, generando una dinámica perversa de puerta giratoria. La represión no se ha detenido y la persecución política sigue afectando a más familias venezolanas”, afirmó en un posteo en X.

Según la entidad, “otros están a punto de cumplir un año en aislamiento absoluto, sin haber visto nunca a sus familias”. En esa situación está el gendarme catamarqueño Nahuel Gallo, detenido desde el 8 de diciembre pasado tras ingresar legalmente al país desde la frontera colombiana.

Qué está pasando con la oposición venezolana

En tanto, la oposición no logra ponerse de acuerdo en cómo enfrentar al chavismo.

La mayoritaria Plataforma Unitaria Democrática (PUD) de Machado decidió no participar en ninguna contienda electoral este año. No quiere avalar con su presencia el sistema electoral chavista, al que acusa de fraudulento y de robarle su triunfo en las presidenciales de 2024.

Advertisement

Pero otro sector opositor sí decidió participar en los comicios. Hubo decenas de dirigentes que presentaron candidaturas en las elecciones regionales de mayo y otros estarán en las boletas este domingo.

En esa lista sobresalen tres: Adrián Romero, que irá por la reelección en Maracaibo, capital del petrolero estado Zulia con la coalición Gran Alianza; Gustavo Duque, actual alcalde del rico municipio caraqueño de Chacao por Fuerza Vecinal, y Jorge Barragán, que buscará ganar con el Partido Lápiz la municipalidad de la comuna capitalina de Libertador.

“Nuestro principal rival no es el (gobernante Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela) PSUV propiamente, nuestro principal rival es la desesperanza. Es levantarnos todos los días pensando que las cosas no van a cambiar y que ellos (el chavismo) ya ganaron”, afirmó Barragán, de 27 años.

En su diálogo con TN, Jesús “Chuo” Torrealba se mostró crítico con Machado.

“A un año de la amplísima victoria en las presidenciales, la situación de la oposición venezolana es hoy de una precariedad inmensa”, dijo.

Advertisement

Según afirmó, “el liderazgo de Machado fue muy golpeado por la represión y el hostigamiento del gobierno con la mayoría de sus activos en la clandestinidad, exiliados o presos. Este sector utiliza la abstención como recurso de protesta, pero sin ningún proyecto alternativo”, dijo.

Por otro lado, prosiguió Torrealba, “otro sector insiste en utilizar la organización de masas y la lucha electoral como instrumento para enfrentar al proyecto totalitario de Maduro. Es una situación de mucha confusión, sin un liderazgo claro y sin respuestas positivas de un electorado opositor que sigue sin responder ante la decepción que significó haber tenido una victoria electoral luego no reconocida”, profundizó.

“Eso ha generado mucha desconfianza en el voto como instrumento de cambio. El país mayoritariamente se opone al proyecto totalitario de Maduro, pero la dirección política opositora ha demostrado claramente ser insuficiente”, concluyó.

«How can we trust government to do big things when government has been corrupted? My friends, for those who want a progressive future, for those who want a government that works to build security and opportunity for the working class, we must get rid of the big money in politics,» Khanna said in his address on Friday afternoon.  

The California Democrat then mentioned the Jeffrey Epstein files, which have become a major point of debate in Washington as some demand more information about the case.

«We must restore a government for the people, by the people, of the people. The release of the Epstein files is not a magic cure for trust, but it is a first step. It’s a first step to say we will have a new era of transparency,» he continued.

Khanna then bluntly called out his party’s establishment in his closing call to action.

«I’ll end with this clear point: The old guard needs to go. The old ways have not been working. This party needs a new rebirth. This party needs a rebirth to stand for human rights,» he said. «This party needs a rebirth to stand for the working class. This party needs a rebirth to stand for people over the donor class.»

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to give virtual remarks at the summit on Friday, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was also a major speaker at the event.

«It’s important to be strong in the year in advance, because that’s when the troops line up. We have our messaging, we have our mobilization, we need the money to do it, but they go only next to a school to hold up the most important part: the candidate,» she continued. 

Younger Democrats, like freshman Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari and Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, took part in panels at the summit.

Khanna’s address comes as the Democratic Party is striving to navigate the second Trump administration and adapt to the major shifts that occurred across voter demographics in the 2024 election, including among Generation Z. The 2026 election is being seen as an opportunity to get more information about Gen Z voters, as many voted for the first time in 2022 and 2024. 

Some in the party have encouraged a more moderate direction, while others have echoed Khanna’s populist sentiment.

«I’m here to say that a new Democratic Party, a reborn Democratic Party, a populist Democratic Party, a multiracial Democratic Party, a Democratic Party that centers the working and middle class, a Democratic Party that looks like the future is a Democratic Party that can lead us back to victory and lead us to a better America. It’s time to take back our party and then to take back our country,» he continued.

La 4TNorteña en México: el ADN humanista del industrialismo en Nuevo León

Published

on


Claudia Sheinbaum junto a Andrés Mijes, alcalde del municipio de General Escobedo en Nuevo León

En el 2018 se inició la construcción de un nuevo capítulo en la historia de la República Mexicana: la Cuarta Transformación (4T). Uno de los objetivos iniciales de la 4T fue darle un sentido humano y de resultados reales a la economía y la democracia del país. México había tenido un crecimiento económico mediocre durante el periodo 1988 a 2018, pero la prosperidad se había concentrado injustamente en unas cuantas manos. Por otra parte, la denominada democracia mexicana se había convertido en un mero conjunto de procesos electorales carentes de todo contenido real y que simplemente permitían a una misma élite mantenerse en el poder, bajo etiquetas (partidos políticos) aparentemente diferentes, pero idénticas en el fondo.

El mandato de Andrés Manuel López Obrador fue disruptivo y, como tal, rompió de forma irreversible la rueda del modelo económico del viejo régimen; por lo que, en 2024, cuando la Dra. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo asumió el liderazgo de México ya era posible pensar en avanzar hacia la fase constructiva de la 4T, algo que ella ha denominado el “Segundo Piso de la Transformación”.

Advertisement

Con esa intención, la Presidenta de México ha definido como eje central del Plan Nacional de Desarrollo, el concepto del “Crecimiento Equitativo” y es precisamente esa noción la que dio forma definitiva a un modelo de gestión municipal y de gobierno que veníamos perfeccionando en Nuevo León desde el 2021: la 4TNorteña.

La gran pregunta que muchos nos hicimos desde la región que representa la industrialización y modernidad en México, fue como contribuir para avanzar de manera rápida y efectiva hacia el Crecimiento Equitativo postulado por la Dra. Sheinbaum Pardo. Sabíamos, además, que la respuesta tenía que estar anclada firmemente en nuestros valores norteños de trabajo duro, innovación y solidaridad.

Afortunadamente, en Nuevo León, el espíritu esencial del Crecimiento Equitativo ya estaba enraizado en nuestro DNA social y económico bajo la filosofía del Capitalismo Social. Una doctrina que guió la industrialización histórica del estado, con un profundo compromiso social que muchos han olvidado, pero que hoy debe volver a estar en primera fila. En el corazón del Capitalismo Social de Nuevo León, encontramos la frase de Eugenio Garza Sada que postula que “el respeto a la dignidad humana está por encima de cualquier consideración económica” y esa es una idea totalmente alineada con el nuevo humanismo mexicano de la 4T.

En ese marco, la 4TNorteña se dio a la tarea de fusionar el Humanismo Mexicano de la 4T, con el Capitalismo Social del buen emprendedor y las familias esforzadas de Nuevo León, con el fin de que el crecimiento económico sí sea aliado del bienestar y la dignidad humana. Así, la 4TNorteña se construye sobre la base del Plan México de la Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo y la premisa de que, para compartir prosperidad, hay que crear prosperidad mediante una participación socialmente responsable con el sector privado y los emprendedores.

La 4TNorteña es, entonces, un modelo de gobierno que consiste en apoyar con la mano derecha a los empresarios y los inversionistas para que hagan crecer responsablemente la economía y, luego, con la mano izquierda, canalizar con firmeza los frutos del crecimiento económico hacia una política social, educativa, de urbanismo, salud y reconstrucción del tejido comunitario que sí nos lleve a una sociedad más pareja y armoniosa. Y en el centro de esas dos manos debe existir un gobierno profesional, ágil, que apueste por la tecnología y tenga una estrategia de seguridad efectiva y que opere en perfecta alineación con la estrategia nacional.

En suma, la 4T Norteña es al mismo tiempo emprendedora y solidaria, es socialmente responsable y ejecutiva, cree en una policía fuerte y también en la fuerza contra los delincuentes que nace de atender las necesidades más profundas de la comunidad. Es el Norte industrial de México sumándose con convicción a una transformación nacional que genere prosperidad y comparta con equidad el bienestar.

*Alcalde del Municipio de General Escobedo en Nuevo León, México, y Presidente de la Mesa de Coordinación Metropolitana, Sociedad y Gobierno en la Zona Metropolitana de esa entidad de la República Mexicana.
