The article in TIME Magazine discusses the growing influence of wealthy donors, particularly tech billionaire Elon Musk, in American politics. It highlights how Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United have allowed a small number of donors to have a significant impact on political campaigns. The article also raises concerns about the erosion of laws and norms meant to restrain presidential power, particularly under the Trump administration. It calls for reforms to restore meaningful checks on both presidential power and the influence of wealthy donors in politics to protect democracy. [Extracted from the article]
