12:42Now PlayingWhen did Elon Musk make the jump from salesman to supervillain? Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff posed the question a few months ago when they told us about their book Muskism. To answer the question, they trace Musk’s journey from tech billionaire to stalwart of the online right.
From his upbringing in apartheid South Africa to the rise of Tesla and SpaceX, the detail his changing views on AI and the “woke mind virus”, as well as his eventual alliance with Donald Trump.
Slobodian and Tarnoff examine his industrial philosophy, what led him to the White House, his purchase of Twitter, and his various attempts to further fuse technology into our lives.
So, when exactly did Elon Musk go off the deep end?
