Worried about #ElonMusk buying influence in British politics? You're not alone. This is what wannabe dictators do: influence allies to ensure international support when they seize control at home. A short piece on Musk, power, and geopolitics.

Musk's interference isn't just about profit—it's strategic. By embedding himself in political systems abroad, he’s securing allies who won't challenge him if (or when) he wields unchecked power in the US. It’s no coincidence Musk has ties to authoritarian regimes. His Starlink service has already influenced the war in Ukraine, and rumours of backchannel links with Russia keep circulating. Is he testing his geopolitical influence for a larger plan?

Here’s the playbook:
1️⃣ Build tech dominance (Starlink, Neuralink, SpaceX).
2️⃣ Influence global politics under the guise of "free speech" and "innovation."
3️⃣ Position himself as indispensable to governments.
4️⃣ Consolidate power—domestically and internationally.

When you control communications (Starlink), the narrative (Twitter/X), and access to the future (Neuralink, SpaceX), you’re no longer just a billionaire—you’re a global gatekeeper. Musk’s growing ties with power players should concern us all. This isn’t just paranoia—history shows us how power consolidation works. Musk’s playbook isn’t new; it’s just more high-tech.
