Months before Elon Musk launched his America First political party, this episode raised an urgent question:


"Can a man like Musk ever play second fiddle—or will he eventually try to run the whole system?"


What followed was a sweeping exploration of Musk’s potentially perilous influence on global politics, military contracts, and democratic stability.


From Starlink in Ukraine to AI and authoritarianism, from occult symbolism to Project 2025, we investigate how one billionaire's entanglements with regimes like China and Russia may be disrupting the balance of power in Western democracies.


Topics Covered:

– Starlink shutdowns and Pentagon influence

– Cultural Christianity and religious identity
