Garry Kasparov, who now chairs the Renew Democracy Initiative, claimed to the Huffington Post that Elon Musk’s emergence at Trump’s side mixes business and politics in the same way as was seen in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
“There are certain lessons that I think we can learn from Russia in the ’90s,” he said.
“The blurring of the lines between business and politics, which is called oligarchy by classical political philosophy ― it’s extremely dangerous.”
“Musk could be the first oligarch,” he said. “Having the largest private contractor of the U.S. government potentially being in the position of supervising the entire U.S. budget? I mean, just think about it. If this is not classical oligarchy, what is it?”
