Elon Musk , the richest person in the world, is helping Donald Trump run for president.

Musk has established himself as the quintessential robber baron of the US ’s second Gilded Age.

Kamala Harris is waging a strong campaign but it could be even stronger if she wielded more anti-corporate and anti-robber-baron populism.

The civil rights struggle and the Vietnam war had spawned an anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian New Left that distrusted government as much if not more than Wall Street and big business.

The Democratic establishment viewed the anti-war New Left as entitled children, who focused on personal expression and idealism rather than labor activism and the alleviation of poverty.

The Republican party , meanwhile, embraced cultural populism.
