  • Elon Musk is on track to become one of the most powerful men in the world through an unprecedented business government.
  • Musk embodies a revolution combing vision, courage, and technological advances, but shows a concerning disregard for democratic institutions.
  • The founder and CEO of Tesla and Space X will have an unprecedented power in the White House thanks to his alliance with Donald Trump.
  • Musk's fortune has skyrocketed since Trump's electoral victory, and it is expected to soar even higher thanks to regulatory benefits.
  • Musk goes beyond the typical billionaire oligarch, going as far as separately regulating Twitter and influencing international political events.

Conclusion: This blend of business and political power has the potential to rewrite the rules of the economic and political game, carrying with it both potentially great advances as well as risks to democracy.
