The author of the book titled "The Next 100 Years: A Forecast For The 21st Century" New York 2009, George Friedman, described the current global leadership by the USA as "American age or centric". He argues that China will not be the global leader because of their burden of population on healthcare, education and infrastructure. He said that America has 4% of the global population but produces about "26% of goods and services". But on the other hand he said that "There is a deep-seated belief in America that the United States is approaching its destruction". The question is this is the time shall America lose the global leadership?
It was yesterday this writer watched President Donald Trump addressing people in Miami when he spoke at the "Saudi Conference for investors" and described Elon-Musk as a "great guy". Elon-Musk seems to be the leading figure in Donald Trump's government. The new President wanted to use this richest man in the world to change the way of American influence in the global political, economic and social issues.
It's there he mentioned Billions of Dollars recklessly spent in various countries of the world which was the task payers money like "$225B spent" which means that was as a result of American interest in countries of the world.
For example, "$100M spent in Pakistan's elections". The $100M spent for condoms or $50M spent on the South African elections issue and he said will stop giving money to Palestinians. And he described “President Zelonsky as a dictator without elections. Hence, he called for elections in Ukraine" despite the huge spending on Ukraine and Russia's war. What will be the policy of Donald Trump currently toward Ukraine and the European Union as well as the Global South countries like Nigeria?
On the American Senator Perry who spoke about financing B/H in Nigeria; this issue created huge dispute in the country.
Nigeria’s access to a $602.95 million USAID grant for 2025 is now uncertain following a 90-day suspension of all agency programs by President Donald Trump. Is this allegation true or false? Certainly if this issue is true this will create rifts between Nigerians and America.
The Analysis of the situation:
Elon Musk and Donald Trump have a complex relationship with both similarities and differences. One of the key connections between them is their shared views on certain issues, such as their skepticism towards COVID-19 restrictions. In 2020, Musk defied local orders to close his Tesla plant in California, and Trump publicly supported him, tweeting that California should let Musk reopen his plant. This attested the fact that they shared the same opinion in many policies.
They also shared a disdain for excessive government regulation. Musk has been critical of government mandates, and Trump has been a vocal advocate for reducing regulatory burdens on businesses. And again on migration and additional taxes on some countries such as China, Canada, Mexico and so on.
Additionally, Musk has been a part of Trump's Strategic and Policy advisory committee, which aimed to promote American business interests. However, Elon-Musk has also been critical of Trump's policies, particularly on climate change. Elon- Musk was a vocal opponent of Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord .
Despite their differences, Trump has expressed admiration for Musk, calling him "one of our great geniuses" and stating that he's "one of our very smart people". Elon-Musk, on the other hand, has been more nuanced in his praise, emphasizing the importance of maintaining open channels of communication with the President, regardless of their differences.

Meaning that, they don't believe in the issue of climate change in the world.
Can President Trump and Elon-Musk change the current global political, economic and social activities under the so-called "American age/Centric" and abandone the globalization policy as a global direction on political, economic and social activities? What of the key elements and principles of the system such as democratization, integration of the global economy and multiculturalism? Is the Beijing Consensus of 2004 on the way for implementation in the world?
To be continued insha'Allah
