Like any other state, the United States of America is prone to expanding its empowerment and involvement in the lives of its citizens. If this is not resisted, the country can easily turn into an autocracy. It implies unlimited power of one person. At the moment, the United States is trying to influence public opinion by limiting freedom of speech on the Internet for the last 5 years. To do this, the state uses maximum tools, including private corporations, intelligence agencies and influential people. Read today in USA.ONE magazine:
Will the States turn into an autocracy?
And what does Elon Musk have to do with it?
Is the USA going along the path of autocracy? 
Since Elon Musk became the owner of Twitter, he has been actively fighting for freedom of speech in America. For this, he was repeatedly attacked by pro-government organizations and democrats. In response, Musk decided to expose the former management of the social network, publishing evidence that since 2017, it was under enormous pressure from the Democratic Party and censored everything it was told to do.
For example, Elon reported that at the request of the Democratic Party, Donald Trump’s profile was banned; Content related to Republicans has become unavailable to Twitter users; information about those who criticized Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election went straight to the FBI; Democrats demanded that Twitter censors find evidence that Trump's victory in 2016 was influenced by bots from Russia; The Pentagon did not allow those who openly violated the rules of the social network to be blocked; with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Twitter banned anti-vaxxers, unwanted doctors and users who talked about the earnings of pharmaceutical companies; and at the instigation of the administration of the current US president, they began to hide tweets criticizing quarantine and vaccination.
More than 70% of Americans supported Elon Musk when he called for Congress to conduct a wide-ranging investigation into former Twitter executives' ties to the Democrats, the FBI, intelligence agencies, corporations and pharmacists in a censorship case. Musk has opposed everyone who is trying to control public opinion and continues to fight for freedom of speech in America.
That said, the United States still has fair courts, democracy, and change in power, even despite countless attempts to change it over the past 20 years. Autocracy will have a hard time in a country that is one of the oldest in existence. While other states faced disintegration, unification and revolutions, in the States everything was stable due to the lack of comprehensive state expansion.
To do their job, it is important for politicians to constantly strengthen their structures and receive more funds from the budget, which are generated from the taxes of ordinary citizens. For example, the head of the FBI needs more agents to expand, and therefore financial assistance, which hits the pockets of Americans. Will they be happy with this? Of course not. At one time, the very creation of the FBI was difficult, because US citizens were against the creation of new government organizations.
Remember, for example, the criminal John Dillinger. He robbed banks all over America and the police could not do anything about it, because they had no right to look for him in another state with another jurisdiction. Laws could vary greatly from state to state. And only thanks to the reforms adopted by the FBI, Dillinger was finally caught.
The expansion of the state occurs in all countries not only because politicians want it, but also because there is a need for it. This leads to close cooperation between government and business. Lobbying of interests is not prohibited in the States — private companies easily pay for an official’s opinion on a particular issue for their own benefit. But no matter how hard a state, party or individual tries to expand its influence, it will be extremely difficult to gain absolute power. Because the United States has a system of balances and checks. It is observed in fact, and not just stated in the Constitution.
The branches of government are independent of each other. For example, the court can easily make a decision that neither Congress nor the president will like. During 2022 alone, this could be observed more than once. In addition, parameters at all levels are constantly changing, which are difficult to keep track of. Every 4 years, citizens elect a head of state, and every 2 years, elections to Congress are held. The House of Representatives is renewed completely, the Senate by a third and for a period of 6 years. Local elections are held for governor, lieutenant governor, mayor, attorney general, etc. There is too much bureaucracy and nuances, but they make sense.
It seems that the United States is not in danger of autocracy, and we can thank you for that tell the founding fathers. More than 240 years have passed since the creation of the States, but they are still the largest democracy with the oldest constitution in the world to boot. America's founders designed a system that could not be broken. How broadly they thought and looked into the future! Every 10 years the world becomes different due to at least technological progress, but the political system in the United States remains unchanged. Isn't it cool?
