* Garry Kasparov, a Russian dissident and former world chess champion, warns that the US is close to having its first real oligarch. * He compares Elon Musk's emergence as a key figure in the Trump administration to the rise of oligarchs in post-Soviet Russia. * Kasparov defines oligarchs as very rich business leaders with significant political influence, who can control the law to reward supporters and crush opponents. * Musk's potential role in supervising the US budget as head of the Department of Government Efficiency is seen as a concerning example of oligarchy. * Kasparov notes that under oligarchy, conflicts of interest are not considered a problem, and individuals can hold multiple powerful positions. * He is waiting to see if Musk will act outside of ethics rules and step down as CEO of his companies to operate in the Department of Government Efficiency.

* Democracy activist Garry Kasparov warns that Elon Musk's potential role in the Trump administration could lead to the creation of America's first oligarchs. * Kasparov defines oligarchy as the blurring of lines between business and government, which he believes is extremely dangerous. * Musk's companies are major government contractors, and his potential role in supervising the US budget raises concerns about conflicts of interest. * Kasparov also warns that Trump's actions are eroding democratic norms and that the country is at risk of becoming a dictatorship. * He urges Democrats to learn from their mistakes and not give up in the fight against autocracy. * Kasparov, a former world chess champion, fled Russia to escape Putin's regime and now fights for democracy globally. * #Oligarchy * #DemocracyInDanger * #ElonMusk * #DonaldTrump * #GarryKasparov * #RenewDemocracyInitiative * #USPolitics * #GovernmentContractors * #ConflictsOfInterest * #Autocracy * #Dictatorship * #DemocracyActivist https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-musk-america-oligarchs_n_6746b6efe4b0800c73f710a5
