Elon Musk is the first billionaire who doesn’t play on the globalist team. By Brivael Le Pogam.
Why are Democrats going after Elon Musk with everything they have? It’s not because he’s a billionaire in politics. They’ve been perfectly comfortable with billionaires in politics for decades. They’re going after him because he’s the first one playing against them.
Look at the numbers. Soros’s Democracy PAC had put over $100 million into this midterm cycle before the summer was even over. Only a tiny fraction of it shows up under his own name. Then add the advocacy arm of his foundations, which doesn’t have to disclose all of its political spending. And that’s just the visible part. Over 40 years, tens of billions have gone into NGOs, universities, legal networks and media projects that shape what counts as an “acceptable” opinion.
That’s the real game. Billionaires have been buying politicians for decades, on every side. But the smartest ones figured something out: you don’t buy a candidate, you buy the ecosystem. Universities, foundations, newsrooms, NGOs, regulators, courts. Once you control who writes the reports, who trains the lawyers and who decides what counts as “misinformation”, elections become a detail.
For 30 years that ecosystem leaned one way. Nobody called it oligarchy. They called it “civil society.”
Enter Musk:
Then Musk showed up. He bought the main public square, took the filters off, and started spending in the open, under his own name. Yes, he’s the biggest donor of these midterms. Everyone can see exactly how much he gave and to whom. That’s the difference. One plays in daylight, the other plays through a maze of structures.
And suddenly, billionaire money in politics became a threat to democracy.
Makers versus takers:
This isn’t really about left versus right. It’s about an ideology that captured these institutions and leads straight into a wall. More regulation, less building. More process, less progress. Countries shutting down working nuclear plants. A decade to approve a power line. A system whose default answer to any ambition is “no.”
Musk is the opposite. Reusable rockets. Mass-market EVs. Satellite internet for the whole planet. Brain-computer interfaces. A serious plan to make humanity multiplanetary. You can hate his tweets. You can’t deny that no one in the last 20 years has pushed the frontier of what humanity can build further than he has.
That’s why they need to break him. Not because of his money. Because he proves the system can be bypassed.
A globalist future:
If we leave the system as it is, we don’t get a catastrophe. We get something worse: slow, comfortable stagnation. A civilization that manages its own decline instead of building its future.
The Labor Party here in Australia is taking us down the European path, of stagnation and rule by bureaucrat.
(Did you know that the European Commission is functionally equivalent to the old Soviet Politburo? In both cases there is/was an elected Parliament that in practice does not initiate legislation, so it is just a rubber stamp. Who’s heard of anyone in the European or Soviet Parliaments? No one, because they are powerless bodies. The real power lies in the European Commission or Politburo. And they are appointed bodies, the European Commission through a process involving elected national governments, and the Soviet Politburo by the Communist Party hierarchy. In both cases, democracy is effectively muted and the status quo entrenched.)
