Unelected Billionaire Elon Musk Takes Even More Power in Treasury Grab
Richard Wolff on The Socialist Program
On The Socialist Program, Richard Wolff delves into the topic of the immense power wielded by unelected billionaire Elon Musk, who now has access to the U.S. Treasury Department's payment system, raising concerns about unilateral decision-making and lack of accountability. The conversation explores the dangers of wealth concentration, the erosion of democratic accountability, and the potential impact of Musk’s control over essential services like Social Security and Medicare. The discussion also touches the opaque nature of capitalist decision-making and the need for public awareness and organized resistance. The discussion stresses the urgency of democratizing economic and political power to protect society from corporate overreach.
To President Trump,
A storm is brewing in the North. The people of Canada, once America’s greatest admirers, now watch in disbelief as the nation we once revered teeters on the brink of collapse. We see a once-mighty republic consumed by internal chaos, gripped by corruption, and manipulated by forces that seek to erase its founding principles.
For decades, we Canadians believed in the promise of America. We saw a nation built on freedom, courage, and innovation. But today, that beacon flickers, threatened by forces both foreign and domestic—globalists, bureaucratic elites, and shadowy operatives who care nothing for the common citizen. They manipulate elections, silence dissent, and rewrite history. We have watched this unfold with growing alarm, because what happens to America does not stay in America.
The infection of ideologies,the dismantling of law and order, and the vilification of those who defend liberty—it all spills over our shared border. It seeps into our institutions, poisons our politics, and threatens our own national identity. The same forces working to undermine America have their claws in Canada, pushing us toward submission to global control. We see it in the suppression of free speech, the attacks on independent thought, and the increasing criminalization of those who dare to question the official narrative.
But we also see something else: resistance. We see citizens standing up. We see people across our provinces refusing to bow. We see Canadians waking up. The media will never tell you this, but the people of Canada are watching, waiting, and hoping. Hoping that America, the America we once knew, will rise again. Because if it falls, so too will we.
The world is at a precipice. The forces of darkness believe they have already won. But they underestimate the resolve of free people. Canada has not abandoned America—we are watching, and we are ready.
The question is—are you?

We as a country have had delusions of grandeur and applied. Unbelievable characteristics to people with money and given them elevated positions of status. Didn't make no sense and we've all aspired to money. It should be our flag. Thank you, Richard.
