Despite being booted out of office almost two years ago, former US president Donald Trump is still dominating US politics.

The committee investigating the January 6 insurrection of the US Capitol, just this week, referred multiple criminal charges against Trump to the Justice Department.

He wasn't the only powerful man people voted out.

The self-proclaimed bastion of free speech, Elon Musk, asked Twitter users if he should step down as the company's boss in a very democratic poll - and the people said yes.

He says he will if anybody is "foolish enough" to take on the role.
