Also speaking at the ceremony was Elon Musk, the world’s richest entrepreneur and Trump’s pick to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which must thoroughly slim down the American administration in the next months.
Musk said after the inauguration that he is ‘looking forward to the future’ and that whatever the term of office brings ‘is going to be fantastic’. The owner of Tesla and X stressed that, thanks to Donald Trump, the future of civilisation is assured. ‘We’re going to have safe cities, finally, secure borders, sensible spending, basic things. Basic things. And we’re going to take DOGE to Mars!’.
But the photo that will remain from this ceremony will be that of Elon Musk -the white afrikaner – making the Nazi salute.
