Elon Musk played a huge role in Donald Trump’s campaign, throwing at least $130 million at it.  But what role will the richest man in the world really play when Trump steps into the White House next year? Today, political scientist Geoff Kabaservice from the Niskanen Centre in Washington DC on the people Trump will need if he wants to rule like a dictator, even for one day.  Geoff Kabaservice discusses the unpredictability of Trump’s promises and the potential for significant disruptions if he follows through on his more extreme proposals.  He highlights the importance of loyalists in Trump’s administration, contrasting it with the previous term where establishment figures curbed Trump’s instincts.  Kabaservice also touches on the controversial roles of Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., emphasising the uncertainty surrounding their influence.  Featured:  Geoff Kabaservice, Vice President for political studies at the Niskanen Centre Key Topics: Elon Musk’s financial support for Trump Robert F.
