President Joe Biden recently warned about the rise of an "oligarchy" in America, highlighting concerns over the concentration of wealth and power among a few individuals. His remarks seemed aimed at figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Biden's administration has faced criticism for not engaging with Musk, particularly after excluding Tesla from a 2021 event celebrating electric vehicle manufacturers. This decision has been viewed as a missed opportunity to align with Musk, who has since supported Trump. Biden emphasized the need for accountability among the ultra-wealthy, referencing historical antitrust actions against powerful figures. He called for a fairer system that benefits all citizens, echoing themes from his earlier populist campaign promises.
