It’s it possible Elon Musk is using the “state capture” of South Africa as a blueprint in the Fed?

   State capture in South Africa, particularly under the Zuma administration, demonstrated how political elites and private interests could systematically infiltrate and manipulate government institutions for personal gain. This was achieved through strategic appointments of loyalists, control over state-owned enterprises, and the undermining of oversight mechanisms, effectively eroding democratic checks and balances. In the U.S., similar tactics could be employed by corporate and political actors through regulatory capture, judicial appointments, and media influence to consolidate power and weaken institutional independence. The South African case highlights the dangers of weakening anti-corruption agencies, politicizing law enforcement, and using state resources for personal or party benefit—risks that could manifest in the U.S. through executive overreach, erosion of press freedom, and voter suppression tactics. By studying South Africa’s experience, one can identify warning signs and potential safeguards to prevent democratic backsliding in the U.S.

   This is terrifying. I first heard the phrase state capture only a few days ago but the most egregious and recent example is from a place musk would obviously be familiar. I didn’t think Americans have been exposed or are aware that corruption of this type and scale is even in the political landscape. Similar to hungry (as another pointed out), similar to ANC… So in and so forth.

4. To me it looks more like he is following the path of Hungary
