Professors accuse Trump, Musk of lawlessness, anti-democratic extremism in UMich teach-inA parade of professors who co-hosted a recent standing-room-only teach-in at the University of Michigan argued that President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk are engaging in lawlessness and anti-democratic extremism to the detriment of the country.The two-and-a-half-hour teach-in drew several hundred students to an Angell Hall auditorium and even prompted the need to create an overflow room. An email advertising the Feb. 12 event stated that the “U.S. president and the richest man in the world are challenging constitutional precedents and about to collide with the courts.”“Why is this happening? What is at stake? And what can be done about it?”Ten professors representing fields including public policy, law, political science, business and communications spoke at the event for roughly five to 10 minutes apiece. There were also some questions from the audience.Business Professor Jerry Davis targeted the role of Big Tech and Silicon Valley’s influence in current political trends, saying they used to actively support left-wing causes — but no more. Davis called out Musk in particular, saying “he and his friends don’t believe in democracy.”“They think it’s been a mistake,” Davis said. “They think there should be deference to those who are genetically or in whatever ways superior, like the founder class.”Referencing a term called the “Nerd Reich,” Davis added: “They are clearly enthralled by an anti-Democratic ideology.” He said the Big Tech founder class sees themselves as the “makers,” and others as the “takers.”Speaking on the topic of whether the president owns the government, law Professor Julian Davis Mortenson, a legal historian and constitutional litigator, said he has always been someone who sees both sides of an issue, but he is now concerned President Trump is overstepping his constitutional powers.
