Elon Musk, the tech mogul and the worldโs richest man, is crafting a strategy to place himself above nation-states, potentially reshaping a new world order in his own image.
Political analyst0 Elad Nehorai said Muskโs growing influence is part of a broader ambition to erode governmental authority and establish a corporate-centric world where he holds unprecedented sway.
โMuskโs embrace of the far-right includes backing parties with authoritarian leanings, like Germanyโs AfD,โ Nehorai wrote in a thought-provoking column for MSNBC.
โBut Muskโs vision isnโt about government-led authoritarianism like fascism. Instead, he seeks a world where corporations, led by figures like himself, become the ultimate ruling class.โ
The Plan for U.S. Domination
Much like Donald Trump, whom Musk reportedly supported with hundreds of millions of dollars during his re-election campaign, the Tesla CEO aims to dismantle the U.S. liberal establishment.
Nehorai argues that Musk is strategically working to weaken the federal government, eliminating regulatory obstacles that could curtail his ambitionsโall without ever running for office, as the Constitution bars him from doing so.
Recently, Musk was appointed co-head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, where his primary objective appears to be slashing the federal budget and workforce.
โThis isnโt about streamlining government,โ Nehorai asserts. โItโs about crippling the very institutions that stand in the way of Muskโs complete control.โ
Muskโs influence has already shaped policy. Last month, he derailed a bipartisan government funding agreement by spreading misinformation about the bill on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). The original bill contained restrictions on U.S. companies investing in Chinaโa clause that would have hampered Teslaโs expansion there.
The final legislation? Those restrictions were gone.
A Global Agenda
Nehorai draws parallels between Musk and the robber barons of the Gilded Age, such as John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, but argues that Musk wields tools far more powerful: technologies like space exploration, renewable energy, and global communications. These are no longer just industriesโthey are the bedrock of modern national security.
Muskโs ambitions extend far beyond American borders. In Britain and Germany, he uses X to influence political discourse. In Ukraine, his Starlink satellite network has played a pivotal role in the ongoing conflict.
โMusk isnโt just challenging governments; heโs positioning himself as a force more powerful than the governments themselves,โ Nehorai warns.
Dictator Without Borders?
Nehorai paints a chilling picture of Muskโs ultimate goal: a technocratic dictatorship where corporate power reigns supreme. His pursuit of space colonization, particularly on Mars, is more than a sci-fi dreamโitโs a tangible effort to build infrastructure that could elevate him beyond earthly limitations.
โHis ambition is to surpass the presidency, becoming an unelected ruler with unchecked authority,โ Nehorai argues. โWhile many worry about the damage Donald Trump could do to democracy, Muskโs vision threatens to eclipse both Trump and the government itself.โ
Manipulating policies in the U.S. to shaping international conflicts and even reimagining life on other planets, Musk is building a framework for global domination.
โHis goal,โ Nehorai concludes, โis to install himself as the unelected leader of a new world orderโunchecked by elections, oversight, or accountability. And so far, heโs succeeding.โ
