Trump-Musk feud highlights ‘violence’ of right-wing politics, expert says

As the public feud between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk escalates, Tristan Cabello, historian and lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, pointed out that the two men are “using the discourses that they are using to marginalise the most oppressed people in America, for example immigrants, between themselves”, stressing the “violence” of the “systems that they represent”. “We have two men here who are right-wing ideologists, who believe in capitalism ... we have two white supremacists ... and yet they can’t get along”, Cabello said.
