US EditionRon Paul: The Empire Strikes Back
- In 2025, Elon Musk brought the Department of Government Efficiency to Washington with the goal of eliminating two trillion dollars worth of excessive federal expenditures.

- Musk's impending departure marks a setback for reform efforts as entrenched DC interests and military spending priorities resisted change, signaling the empire struck back.
