Why is Elon Musk taking the N1 spot, ahead of Putin, on the "most wanted men" list by the masters and disciples of "the Empire of Lies / N.O.M."? (2/5)
If they consider Elon Musk so dangerous to their demonic plans ... isn't that proof that he's fantastic for humanity?

In recent days, Elon Musk has become more than ever the man to silence, or put down. A number of major groups have decided to suspend their advertising purchases on X, and to make it known. What can we say about the reasons for this, apart from the fact that anything to do with the very serious crisis in the Middle East is an open door to the worst insinuations and sometimes insults between camps that think they hate each other eternally. The images and stories broadcast by each side, the positions taken and the calls for de-escalation are taken by one side or the other (and by each other) either as collaboration, naivety or disinformation, but more often than not as a discourse that propagates hatred, or even anti-Semitism.
So, if you're in France, images from Gaza showing the massacres of entire families or civilians in Palestinian refugee camps and even in outbuildings of Coptic Christian churches or hospitals full of patients, sometimes in absolute life-threatening emergency situations or undergoing lengthy treatment (infants, diabetics, amputees, etc.), are immediately labeled by the right-thinking as incitement to hatred; we should only show and talk about the events of 7/10 and the images that go with them, only about the hostages, only about the incredible Hamas underground installations, which alone would justify the massacres and ethnic cleansing of Gaza, regardless of the fact that there is no evidence to support this thesis concerning Hamas, in particular, no military base or network of underground passages under the hospitals of this ghetto under virtual blockade, as doctors and humanitarian organizations were saying, inaudible in the face of the propaganda of the Israeli army and the Netanyahu government. In short, we shouldn't talk about the past, or the inconsistencies of that day, or what followed, or what is currently happening in the West Bank. And yet... it deserves to be? Like mentioning the hundreds of billions of m3 of gas off the coast of Gaza, which is anything but a trifle at a time of sanctions against Russia and Iran, and therefore an EU that would be delighted to have new supplies.
Of course, during a war, there's a lot of misinformation, as we saw with the war against Covid, the war against climate change and Russia's special operation in Ukraine. But this time, it's even more violent and divisive, with a much stronger desire than for 11/09 to control the whole narrative, in order to control souls, which is one of the stakes of the hybrid wars of our time. X is a kind of troublemaker, much more so than TikTok or Telegram; while Facebook or Instagram seem particularly aligned, as always, with authorized narratives.
In short, while images, especially the most barbaric ones, must be handled with great care, one must not leave the field free for one side to unfold its narrative, without challenging or at least questioning it. Personally, I think we need to try and rebalance things, as the major media and newspapers, as well as the main influencers, have taken up "facts and causes" for the Israeli position, and most of the other "big accounts" have remained fairly neutral and look the other way, because listening to them, they wouldn't know what to say... Those who usually have a big mouth on all subjects.
For Musk, who is a sponge for the emotions of the World, who has a large fatherhood with 11 children, and above all an awareness of what is happening on Twitter or other social networks and media in the treatment of this conflict, he had to speak out. He did so, but gave the impression of criticizing Israel, and in one message found himself labeled an "anti-Semite", or at least the sponsor of thoughts that convey it. Because attacks never come alone, in parallel, X was the object of what Musk describes as a sabotage operation by powerful networks intent on damaging his company. Immediately, he decided to take the case to court, in order to secure the conviction of the organized "arsonist" swindlers of the truth, but also to send a message to those who would lend themselves to this kind of smear operation against X.
For Musk, X is a priceless company, even if it has a purchase value and a cost to run in time and money for him and those who support his projects.
In interviews, Elon Musk reminded us that he had bought a company that had become an instrument of propaganda and manipulation of public opinion, but also of targeting opponents, that with him this would cease, and that in this he was happy to unleash X's positive potential.
Unlike his colleagues, Musk talks a lot, is a brilliant jack-of-all-trades according to those who meet him, and talks too much according to some of his detractors. Yet Musk thinks before he speaks, even if he sometimes does so with ardor and enthusiasm, as when he talks about "copying WeChat because it's good".
What I've observed is that Musk is enabling millions of people, known and unknown, to become citizen journalists and not only be read, but also make a living out of it (directly and above all indirectly) and sometimes even earn considerable direct income from it, like Tucker Carlson for example.
Elon Musk has the revolutionary idea, enshrined at the head of the American Constitution, that everyone on Earth should have a place where they can exercise their freedom of thought and expression in accordance with the laws and rules of X; he even undertakes to pay the legal costs of those penalized for exercising this right on X.
With Starlink and its myriad of satellites, but also cell phone projects (Tesla already has them on board) Elon Musk can offer a global solution, and he's working hard on it, as if aware that he's in a race against time.
The whimsical billionaire who bought X (formerly Twitter) for $40 billion, well above its stock market value, all the more so as the traffic figures were inflated, as were the number of trolls and other fake accounts, which should have discouraged him, has since changed almost everything, including the name. To make it a tool that is the product of humans, not the other way around ... hence the launch of paid offers, with many useful benefits including longer texts, the ability to edit Tweets an hour after they've been sent, etc.
For me, however, X's great revolution is Community Notes. Their principle is to create the conditions and tools for a better-informed World, in real time or a posteriori, by enabling users to collaborate in order to add context to potentially misleading publications.
Over the weeks, I've come to realize the strength, but also the weaknesses, of such a tool, in the face of those who would pervert its use. Under Musk's impetus and listening to the most reliable and least corrupt users, I can see the system's strengths taking shape and its weaknesses being identified and addressed. Being identified to join the Notes community is a must. Such a tool could have applications in the media in general, but also in politics and geopolitics, and why not in business and finance? What Musk is bringing to life with Notes is a sort of V3.0 version of all the evaluation systems that others have tried to set up, without proving their reliability (easy to use to enhance or to harm), or devoting much imaginative effort to them.
With Notes, and given what Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence already enable, the positive possibilities are exciting. But the risk of misappropriation and instrumentalization will be possible; nevertheless, such tools can give back a voice to those who have become inaudible, and above all a way to establish the truth and prevent the propagation of misleading, erroneous or deceptive messages.
X as a place of Truth?
So I wondered whether Musk had the dream and intuition that he could find technological remedies to the most dangerous words of our time (his AI Grok, Neuralink Community Notes), to perceptible future risks (SpaceX, Starlink, X whose banking and commerce component is yet to be discovered and which could surprise with their altruism...) and to nature's unfortunate injustices (X to carry all the ways, Neuralink to make those who have been deprived of them by accidents walk or see again).
Did he have an intuition for this, having read a lot of books (2 a day, according to his brother, and of all types, from spy novels and science fiction to biographies, medical and social research books, contemporary geopolitics, etc.? ) but also met and listened attentively to some of the finest, but also the worst, minds of our time, including Obama, Biden, Soros, Gates, Trump, Pope Francis, Macron, Xi Jiping, Ben Salman, Tucker Carlson, and so many others, including Novak Djokovic, whom Elon Musk often cites as a reference.
Let's not forget that Elon Musk has regularly stated that he would have preferred to go to prison than to take part in the abject policy of compulsory vaccination that some wanted to impose on employees. When the Supreme Court overturned Biden's Executive Order to this effect, Musk, who had been up in arms against mandatory injections of this uncertain product, was relieved. Musk recalled how he had thought he would die as a result of the second injection, and understands that such an unproven product can cause concern, with its widely documented side effects.
It's possible that this intimate experience played a part in the rather rocky purchase of Twitter, with the help of money from the Middle East.
Musk's early experience of Wall Street sharks included his ejection from PayPal (which was to be called X), which he had co-founded, with much disillusionment but also with a big check.
He recently bought back the X.com domain name, which he had long coveted.
It was with Paypal's money that Musk confused Open AI (ancestor of ChatGPT, now part of Microsoft ; which Musk had left because he thought it ESSENTIAL for Artificial Intelligence to be open source, in order to control its excesses), became an investor and then the owner of Tesla, but also that he launched companies that have gone global, including SpaceX (he wanted to buy engines from the Russians, who didn't take him seriously, so he had some created), Starlink (and soon cell phones? ), Neuralink and other companies including Hyperloop.
In this frantic race, Musk often outdoes others, including Bezos (Amazon) and Branson (Virgin), and also enjoys the support of the Pentagon and Nasa, for their satellite orbiting needs, which worries the most wary among Musk's supporters.
The Starlink offer, which features a near-global network of low-altitude satellites, is designed to permanently connect all human beings to each other, wherever they may be. The service makes it possible to bypass any censorship by Internet service providers or cell phone operators, who can censor not only individuals but entire countries or regions, with just a few clicks. On the other hand, it implies accepting to trust Elon Musk or his successors, which is not easy in an age rich in betrayal and disillusionment, when the opposite should increasingly be the norm. I trust Musk's altruism and foresight.
I have no doubt that governments will constantly find new ways to prevent the development of the "Musk galaxy", if it proves so contrary to their manifestly harmful interests, as we see from crisis to crisis.
Let's recall 3 recent episodes of brutality against Elon Musk:
- In the EU, the attacks by European Commissioner Breton, who considers that incitement to hatred is proliferating on X and calls on Musk to take action, before terrible fines or even complete censorship of the social network (EU law allows this, and the same applies in France in a stricter way).
- In Israel, with Musk's desire to equip Gaza's hospitals with Starlink, but he had to back down immediately, accused of wanting to support Hamas terrorists, who would use these places as command posts and connection nodes for their tunnel networks (Al Shifa demonstrates that this was untrue and that the hospitals are not used by Hamas, as the NGOs present have always asserted). Since then, Musk had avoided the subject of Starlink in Gaza, except with the agreement of all the belligerents, which won't happen.
- This time in Ukraine, Musk asked the Pentagon to step in and finance the Starlink services used by soldiers and civilians. However, Musk has made it impossible for his satellites to guide Ukrainian missiles. Musk refuses to allow any of his companies to be involved in an escalation that could lead to nuclear war.
All of which goes to show that no other business leader has such exposure and influence on the world order, and not just with Twitter. But Musk's is a classic order that values the human, not the machine or dehumanization.
Of course, other bosses are extremely powerful and influential, including Bill Gates and Soros, but also those of Black Rock and Vanguard, or certain Big Pharma, oil, military, media or financial companies. But they don't necessarily show publicly and transparently the levers of their power, which can include bribery, blackmail, assassination or even coups or terrorist attacks.
Faced with some of them and others less visible, as well as heads of state and "globalist, LGBT+ and ultimately transhumanist" NGOs, Musk alone can do nothing, which is why it is through his tools/offers and his total commitment to the service of freedom of expression that the fantastic billionaire acts, like millions of others, but with him... Luckily for everyone, with him and us on X, less and less goes unnoticed, and achievements often have a resounding, headline-grabbing impact.
That's why Musk is one of my Fantastic 5!

Cover of The Economist - December 2012 | January 2013
Cards on the table after 6 weeks of massacres in Gaza
How did it come to this?
40 minutes without concessions
The lies
The inconsistencies
The double standards and double language
The bias
The accusatory reversals
The madness of leaders who are ready for anything and even worse than anything
The weight of the neighbors
But an unforgettable image for humanity
Thousands of children killed
Tens of thousands crippled
And the destruction of life
By weeks of bombardment
Life without sleep
Without drinking water
Without food
And without horizon
Since 2005 Gaza has been a ghetto.
Since 2023, it's a city under blockade, under bombs, 6 disproportionate wars later
What can we say about the Gaza army, whose air force was limited to 2 or 3 delta-planes that received a lot of media coverage (including on a cover of The Economist)?
And why ... does Israel, which knows everything ... finally not know enough to avoid what happened on 7/10? Especially after the warnings from their Egyptian neighbors, which Netanyahu denied, before acknowledging them a few days after the Gaza massacre began.
