–The More You Know!
Special Guest Reporter: President Thomas Jefferson
It would seem that our Republic faces an extraordinary and enigmatic figure in Mr. Elon Musk—a man of foreign birth whose grand fortunes and ambitions raise him to the likes of a modern-day Illuminati. He is neither content with wealth nor satisfied with influence alone; his recent $118 million contribution to Mr. Trump’s re-election bid suggests a deeper intent to shape our nation’s future, potentially bending it to his own peculiar vision.
Musk, a man who cloaks himself in the guise of innovation and progress, operates from the shadows as much as from the stage. In the mold of secretive Illuminati of old, his moves are layered with mysteries and hidden motives. For all his public rhetoric of independence from government support, his Tesla empire is deeply entwined with taxpayer-funded subsidies. He feigns disdain for the $7,500 tax credits that bolster the electric vehicle industry, yet Tesla reaps these very rewards, claiming a significant share of tax credits for models like the Tesla Model Y. Thus, while Musk espouses the creed of self-reliance, he operates as a principal beneficiary of the state’s largesse—a modern Illuminatus exploiting the system he claims to disdain.
Furthermore, Musk’s ambitions reach far beyond Earth’s bounds through SpaceX, which has secured billions in government contracts, many of them cloaked in secrecy. His $1.8 billion contract for spy satellites, while ostensibly in the service of national security, brings forth shades of conspiracy, fitting for one who seeks dominion over the skies themselves. His Starlink enterprise likewise competes for government funds under the noble guise of expanding internet to rural America, though his plans have faced challenges from federal agencies, even now under investigation by Congress. Such actions reveal Musk as not merely a businessman but one who wields influence in a manner befitting those shadowy societies of antiquity—the unseen hand guiding our nation’s policy for purposes known only to himself.
It has even been suggested that Musk might lead a “government efficiency commission,” entrusted with cutting federal spending by trillions. Such a position would grant him unprecedented power to dispense or withhold public contracts, enriching himself while potentially masking these aims as patriotic acts of fiscal prudence. One cannot overlook the implications of such power concentrated in the hands of a man whose every move seems designed to fulfill his own ambitions. A modern Illuminatus indeed, Musk possesses the wealth, secrecy, and influence to reshape the course of our Republic.
Musk’s rallying cry to end subsidies rings hollow, for he is deeply enmeshed within the very web of public funds he claims to spurn. This contradiction should not escape the attention of a vigilant citizenry. If Musk’s influence steers Mr. Trump toward a just deregulation that favors no man above another, there may be merit; however, let us not mistake his motives. History’s pages caution us against placing the common good in the hands of those who stand to gain the most from its manipulation.
In our Republic, power rests not with an Illuminati elite, but with the people alone. It is our duty to guard it carefully, for a democracy governed by hidden hands and private interests ceases to be a democracy at all.
