what’s really the background of this peculiar figure, Elon Musk?
He’s from Pretoria, South Africa, born in the early 70s into the wealthy
Musk family. His grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was a leading figure in the Canada-based
Technocracy Movement during the 1930s (...)
Musk moved to the US in the early 1990s and enrolled at Stanford around 1995, where he encountered Peter Thiel and became inducted into the “
PayPal Mafia”, which more or less is the corporate foundation of today’s US tech sector.
(...) Musk funded SpaceX in 2002, with money from the sale of PayPal to eBay, with the stated goal of colonizing Mars. This process officially began with Musk joining up with
Robert Zubrin and his Mars Society. Zubrin is an investor and engineer with deep ties to the US military-industrial-techological complex, presumably through which Musk soon was came in touch with
Michael Griffin of the
CIA:s venture capital arm which bankrolled and later supported SpaceX through handing the company significant government contracts when Griffin later became NASA admin.
In 2008, Musk
was anointed as one of the “young global leaders” by the WEF, where many of the above-mentioned PayPal clique are also entrenched. The same year, Musk was appointed CEO of Tesla, having bought his way in with the money raised from selling PayPal to eBay back in 2002.
SpaceX launched the Starlink project in 2019, which has been instrumental in supporting Ukraine in the Ukraine war, and whose military branch, Starshield, is currently developing a state-of-the-art satellite surveillance network.
The Wall Street Journal reported in February the existence of a $1.8 billion classified Starshield contract with an unknown intelligence agency without detailing the purposes of the program.
Reuters reporting discloses for the first time that the SpaceX contract is for a powerful new spy system with hundreds of satellites bearing Earth-imaging capabilities that can operate as a swarm in low orbits, and that the spy agency that Musk's company is working with is the NRO.
Reuters.
But the media gives you two options when it comes to figuring out who Musk is. He’s either this loose cannon, zany, radical capitalist, free speech advocate who bought Twitter just for the hell of it and who sided with Trump to drain the swamp and stick it to the man — or he’s a crypto-fascist of a fringe white supremacist group which inexplicably wrested contol of the US regime through some miraculous confluence of events.
And neither of these seems to square all that well with the basic facts.
