Musk Goes Global with Playbook for Political Influence
Elon Musk’s latest obsession is not just electric cars, space tourism or energy storage. It’s control. The billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is secretly using his vast fortune to influence global politics, seeding a network of like-minded candidates across the world. And it’s working.
Musk’s playbook, dubbed the “Musk Method,” is a set of tactics honed from his experiences in the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley. It relies on identifying and backing ideal candidates, using big data analysis to exploit public sentiment, and flooding social media with ideology-pushing advertisements.
The goal is to create a broader, more widespread following for the likes of himself, as well as other key figures in the tech and entrepreneurial spheres. This would enable a united front against opponents, willfully influencing the direction of the world.
Sources indicate that Musk’s playbook is now spreading around the world, with multiple countries already showing signs of its influence. In the United States, his methods have achieved striking success in shaping the narrative around tech-related policy initiatives.
Developments in other countries, however, are starkly different. Musk’s prowess for using social media to silence his opponents is ubiquitous, with the world-wide web rife with fake news propaganda and propaganda targeting his agenda. In several countries, this results in him being viewed by his opponents as a cross between a benevolent leader and a maniac.
Social media analysis of the situation reveals insights into the cacophony of disinformation and propagandized stories used to sway key public opinion. In reality, Musk’s global influence is based not on a blind faith in people but in discrediting and either silencing those who question his methodologies.
Countries now using the playbook, ranging from the UK to Germany and Australia, have already seen noticeable changes in their landscapes. Elon has developed an influential leadership in these respects. Reports also indicate a gradual movement towards building an array of supporters.
