What drives the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, to slaughter the US state apparatus on behalf of the US president?
Swedish experts believe that the cause is in his enigmatic personality, at the same time both impulsive and detailed.
– He has a brutal view of people and efficiency. If you cannot perform and deliver max all the time, then there is something wrong, says tech journalist Henrik Ek at Dagens Industri.
In the news documentary “Elon Musk – the shadow president” on TV4 Play, Elon Musk’s path to the White House is depicted. From being worried about climate change and supporting Barack Obama, he is now one of the world’s most important players on the ultimate right.
Liberal debater Johan Norberg has long admired Elon Musk. He says:
– Musk has always had a willingness to go with what other people think is normal and reasonable and serious. It has meant that he has discovered business models that have worked extremely well. But if you do it in the state apparatus, it can have greater consequences.
Young people in Musk’s team
Brutal cuts have already occurred, e.g. in the aid authority USAID. You call themselves Dogge, and Musk’s team consists of a number of very young people from the tech world, such as a 19-year-old who calls himself “big balls” on social media.
Protests are ongoing across the United States and several politicians, prosecutors and judges try to stop Musk’s progress that they believe lacks legal support and can be seen as a kind of coup d’état.
– Elon Musk is a mystery. On the one hand, he is a very analytical and rational entrepreneur and, on the other hand, a very impulse controlled, says US connoisseur Andreas Utterström.
Explanations in privacy
Important causes of Musk’s swing to the outermost right may also be found in his privacy. As a bitter custody dispute about three of his eleven children, a complicated relationship with his father and a crisis about a child changing gender identity.
– Many people think that something was raised there that pulled him a little to the right. After all, there are many people who tried to analyze the psychological in this, says Henrik Ek at Dagens Industri.
