You create a technological start-up, and they either invest in you or not. That’s the end of the story. Wrong, completely wrong. There is one subtle question? Why all the biggest start-up “inventors” are so silent? They should be top celebrities influencing the world. This article exposes why and also tells why this establishment doesn’t want a new Elon Musk.
Technology so sensitive, the super-rich touch and secret services
Imagine the US as a country completely controlled by a few super-rich groups. Some of them are very close to secret services apparatus that has tens of financial resources more than admitted.
And the super-rich and secret services want to have information about every single citizen because he may become an influential politician, powerful adversary, influential person or spy.
So it is kind of unimaginable that they would allow the biggest tech startups to be led by rebellious and defiant people because they could reveal who really runs the country or make such moves that would lead to destabilizing their patron-client system. Owning such companies is sensitive so the establishment must control them.
They go, analyze the start-up by themselves (or have some ideas of what could be successful) and then analyze how reliable are so-called inventors.
IQ, talents, connections and psychological profile
If I say the start-up inventors have very high IQs, it is an underestimation. They have enormously high IQs allowing them to program or invent the whole thing.
Also, IQ itself is something vague, it does matter but if only IQ (some broad sort of mental capacities revolving around the “g factor”) played a role, everybody could be a start-up inventor. So we have specific mental abilities derived from IQ – called talents.
You may think I mean ambitiousness by a psychological profile. That is one thing. It is accompanied by mental resilience, stability and so on.
But the deal is – they must be conform, adhering, abiding, being obedient, submissive, servile, compliant.
Another part may be connections (notably Bill Gates, Steve Jobs) and then you can be a successful grand, major, magnificent technological owner and CEO.
Elon Musk? They failed miserably and they don’t want a new Elon Musk
Absurdly high IQ, ambitious, talented and having proper connections from previous start-ups. But someone assessing his psychological profile made a big mistake.
He had gotten out of control, defying really powerful people. I am not saying the whole establishment was against him.
Mr. Elon Musk has done really tons of things – but there is one thing he has averted – mentioning their names.
The power from his wealth and the big power plays
It is the same thing as Warren Buffett or George Soros. The super-rich invested in their funds, therefore they have power over them. Or vice versa. Musk can also alter the amount of their wealth and vice versa.
Consequently, you are catapulted into the biggest power plays in the world. Big Banks, super-rich families, multinational lobbyists.
The exterior façade hides the prehistoric instincts
You may think it is about money, power and fame. And partly it is. But the way Elon Musk is acting stems directly from our prehistoric instincts.
Elon Musk’s actions reflect deep evolutionary psychology principles. He builds alliances across industries (enhancing survival and resource access). His socioeconomic success signals genetic fitness (wealth and innovation attract respect and mates). He demonstrates bold risk-taking (confidence and problem-solving ability) through ventures like SpaceX and Tesla.
Musk focuses on legacy-building (ensuring species survival and personal immortality). He uses altruism strategically, framing his work as benefiting humanity (costly signaling shows surplus resources and commitment). Controlling scarce resources (electric vehicles, space transportation) strengthens his dominance and influence.
Innovation is central to his strategy (creativity signals intelligence and problem-solving).
Status competition
Rivalries also reflect status competition, where dominance over rivals elevates Musk’s social standing. In ancestral environments, public displays of strength, wit, or superiority were critical for asserting leadership and gaining respect. Modern equivalents include verbal sparring or competitive innovation, as Musk demonstrates with his digs at competitors and bold industry moves.
These feuds also serve as a form of social signaling. By publicly challenging powerful individuals or entities, Musk demonstrates confidence, resilience, and dominance – traits that attract followers and collaborators. Evolutionarily, such behaviors could enhance mate attractiveness and alliances by showing the ability to defend one’s position and outmaneuver rivals.
Lastly, public feuds can act as a platform for costly signaling. By taking risks (both reputational and professional) in these conflicts, Musk communicates his commitment and resource abundance. This reinforces his position as a leader willing to fight for his beliefs and interests, drawing admiration from his ingroup and deterring potential threats.
Musk’s actions also align with mating strategies (high status, ambition, and resource control enhance reproductive attractiveness). His visibility through media like Twitter increases social status (modern signaling). These behaviors are modern adaptations of ancient strategies for survival, reproduction, and legacy.
A great showman with side intentions
He is undoubtedly a great showman, commenting on everything, forming people’s opinions, taking this stance, and then a different stance. People absurdly think his opinions are genuine. But they are mainly because of wars with his enemies or frenemies.
Everything he does has something to do with the hidden political background (general and in the Big Tech). It is the same as in politics where the big show occurs with the super-rich firmly in power.
New Elon Musk? He wants to replace George Soros as the most powerful global lobbyist
Since he made an effort to get Donald Trump into the White House, he may now compete – with all of his power – to replace George Soros (or his son) as the main multinational lobbyist.
He explicitly challenged Geroge Soros and his worldview. However, we cannot be sure whether the dislike of the worldview is real or just a power play.
The estalishment doesn’t want new Elon Musk. Imagine what could have happened
Despite him being an obedient sheep lately, the establishment prefers someone not manipulative, someone calculable. Even though he is part of the establishment now, the super-rich want good sheep.
As I mentioned, he has been calm lately. But imagine if he had gotten out of chains, telling all the secrets, going the hardest way against the most powerful. The super-rich could have had a really huge problem.
The establishment doesn’t want to repeat the case with Mr. Musk, in my humble opinion.
