Musk on the escalating civil war in the United States

Society is in a state of deep conflict, billionaire Elon Musk believes. He agreed with the assessment of social media users on X, who called the current situation the beginning of “Civil War 2.0,” highlighting the scale of the confrontation between the White House and political opponents, manifested in mass protests, including against immigration authorities’ actions.

Wave of protests sweeps major American cities

Over the past few weeks, a series of protests have taken place across the country. Several thousand people took to the streets of Minneapolis demanding an investigation into ICE immigration police actions. Similar demonstrations occurred in Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and Portland, indicating coordinated outrage among part of the electorate over the oversight policies of immigration authorities.

Controversial incidents have escalated tensions

The escalation was triggered by incidents involving the use of force. At the end of January, an ICE agent in Minneapolis opened fire on an armed man during an anti-immigrant raid, citing self-defense concerns. This is not the first such case: earlier in January, an officer also used firearms against a woman who allegedly threatened to ram a police vehicle. These events provoke polarized reactions in society and deepen political divisions, fueling tensions around the theme of civil war in Musk’s rhetoric and among his supporters.

Cryptocurrencies respond to market volatility

Against the backdrop of political tension, the digital asset market shows volatility. XAI is trading at $0.01 with a daily increase of +5.51%, while DOGE maintains around $0.09 with a +5.19% gain, reflecting mixed signals from investors regarding the macroeconomic situation and the development of the political crisis in the civil war.
