Trump and Musk constructed an alternate reality and now we’re all living in it

Donald Trump and Elon Musk — a reality star turned president and a tech billionaire turned senior adviser — have combined forces to build an alternate version of reality that scholars say has never been seen before in modern history. Kelly Rissman reports

<p>President Donald Trump and Elon Musk seem to have constructed an alternate reality, in which judges whose decisions they disagree with should be impeached, there are only two genders, and the White House lawn can become a Tesla showroom</p>

Protesters gather on the National Mall for the nationwide "Hands Off!" protest against US President Donald Trump and his advisor, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in Washington, DC, on April 5, 2025. Thousands of people descended on Washington's National Mall and other cities across the United States in opposition to the policies of Donald Trump, in the largest protests since he returned to the presidency
