Is Elon Musk, Superman or Lex Luthor?
Elon Musk was once seen as the child of even technology. It is a visionary that tries to save the world from fossil fuels with electric cars, dreams of colonizing Mars and aims to connect the human brain to computers. Social media outputs, the active role in political debates and the aggressive moves in the business world, placed it at the center of the question of whether it was a hero or a super bad.

Superman

Musk, Tesla and the automotive industry radically changed the electric vehicles into the future of the future. With SpaceX, he established a system that aims to send people to Mars by giving space transportation to private companies. In the meantime, by developing neuralink with brain-computer interfaces, he tries to expand the human mind and to remove the obstacles of patients who have limits such as paralysis. Starlink aims to provide internet all over the world. He even plans to integrate humanoid robots into life under the umbrella of Tesla. All this makes it a figure that forces the boundaries of humanity and shapes the future.

Musk’s supporters argue that his innovative projects and initiatives are a great gain for humanity. Apparently, according to him, the world is struggling with major problems and radical solutions are needed. It is a figure that offers these solutions and accelerates progress. Like Superman, a character that can change the fate of humanity.

Lex Luthor

In recent years, however, Musk’s attitudes and actions have increased criticism that he was a figure that directs the world in line with his own interests rather than a well -intentioned visionary. After purchasing Twitter (now X), his changes brought about freedom of expression. The polemics he entered with governments and the media showed that he was in a struggle for power not only with technological innovations, but also with global policy and economy.

Especially with Dogge (Government Efficiency Department), which was shortened from the initials of the department of God, Musk, Musk, has gained an unprecedented power to influence federal budgets. In fact, Doge was designed as a cost -reduction attempt under the chairmanship of Musk and Billionaire Friend Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ramaswamy moved away from this structure some time ago, and Musk remained the only power here.

The presence of Doge, of course, came true with President Donald Trump, supported by Musk. After Trump won the presidential race, Tesla had a significant amount of money, because Musk’s companies have deep ties with the federal government. For example, Tesla’s shares have only increased by 83 percent in the last 6 months (even though it is currently falling).

Of course, this is an extraordinary return of Muks’s investment in Trump’s chairmanship. But Musk seems to not just want to settle for these returns. This shows that it supports the alternative (AFD) party for the far -right Germany in Europe, especially in Germany.

Musk’s image change compared to a few years ago affects the attitude of the people. According to Reuters, the Swedes’ looking at Tesla has fallen to 11 after Trump started to work. Considering that Tesla’s model Y’s model was the most sold car in both Sweden and Norway last year, this is literally radical. While it is stated that there is a decrease of close to 50 %throughout Europe, it is very difficult to say that Musk’s rhetoric and behavior had no effect. However, not the only responsible Musk, because the new model Y comes and people are waiting for this vehicle.

The truth is that, in terms of its current position, perhaps has the power to have no person before. Musk holds a global media platform, satellites and spaceships, internet access via Starlink, electric vehicle world via Tesla, and the world of artificial intelligence with Gok. He even wants to further improve things by integrating a banking and payment system solution to X.

In this case, it is much closer to Lex Luthor, the intelligent head -enemy of Superman, who tries to take over the world using superior technology knowledge and authority.

“Are you trying to save the world?” The question was directed. Musk muttered this question, “So, I’m trying to do good things, yes, not to save the world …” while giving Colbert intervened, “But you’re trying to do good things and you are a billionaire,” he said. Musk shook his head, ‘Yes’ he replied. “This seems to be a little superhero or a super bad guy. You have to choose someone .. Musk paused, his face was quite expressed. Since then, 10 years have passed and things have changed to a great extent: more Lex Luthor, less Tony Stark.

Perhaps everything that revolves around Musk is about people who don’t know him exactly. In the biography written by Walter Isaacson, some definitions are used for Musk: ısında Requesting full control was in its nature ”,“ Daily courtesy, temperature and desire to be loved did not have emotional receptors. ”

In the last lines of Musk’s life story, Isaacson said, “Sometimes great innovators are boys who resist toilet training and seeking risks. They can be reckless, ridiculous, sometimes even toxic. They can also be crazy. Crazy enough to think that they can change the world, or he says. Isaacson underlines that Musk is “dependent on drama” in his biography.

Perhaps Musk, which money cannot motivate, is motivated by the fame of these goals for humanity. And this fame is increasingly corrupting him.
