Elon Musk, the prominent
enfant terrible of the globalist set, never ceases to astonish. At the recent G20 business forum in Indonesia, prompted by no apparent motive related to the gathering, he declared that "
maybe we will find alien civilisations or discover civilisations that existed millions of years ago." The bizarre announcement was delivered in a suitably mystical atmosphere, including an occult crystal bowl situated in the forefront, with Musk sitting in the dark, wearing a traditional Indonesian batik shirt and surrounded by candles as he offered a "vision" for the future that in addition to aliens also included deep tunnels and rocket tourism.
There is no record of anyone in attendance asking Musk the obvious question: what qualifies him to speculate on these subjects?
There is meagre information about Musk's education and accomplishments, if we exclude the widely known fact of his sudden, inexplicable, and spectacular enrichment, on a par with similar "success stories" involving the emergence of magnates "out-of-nowhere" in 1990s Russia.
The scant available biographical data about Musk include such titbits of budding genius as creating a video game at the tender age of 12.
As for actual education, it is said that in 1997 Musk received bachelor's degrees "in physics and economics" from the University of Pennsylvania. The eclectic scholar Musk subsequently enrolled at Stanford to pursue graduate studies in physics, which he abandoned after only two days in residence because "he felt that the Internet had much more potential to change society than work in physics."
Needless to say, Elon Musk is not our only prominent contemporary these days who is strategically using fame and money to "change society". The notorious Bill Gates is another well-known example.
On the level of competence, the similarities between these two are striking. Like Musk, Gates has zero meaningful education or expertise in anything. He is simply what in America used to be known contemptuously (but in Gates' case spot on accurately) as a
high school dropout. Like Musk, Gates also tinkered with computer technology from an early age, but there is no evidence of his having sought or acquired any special training or knowledge in anything, be it medicine, eugenics, pharmacology, or any of the other fields that he had impacted critically with the immense amounts of money that came to be concentrated under his control. In fact,
other than double crossing his business partners for personal advantage it is not known that in the course of his active life Gates had been particularly accomplished at anything.
Comment: Considering developments on the international stage, as well the gas pipeline explosion in St. Petersburg, it's not unreasonable to be suspicious about this fire:
