Where does Elon Musk get his ideas from? What is he trying to achieve and who does he want to be? Many of us are desperate to understand the world’s richest man, whose electric vehiclemaker Tesla is now, according to the stock market, worth a trillion dollars. Jill Lepore, a historian at Harvard University, suggests Musk was shaped by his adolescent love of science fiction and the strange, science-obsessed politics of his Canadian grandfather.
Joshua Haldeman was a flamboyant character. Trained as a chiropractor, he performed in rodeos and sought adventure as an amateur archaeologist and pilot. After emigrating to SA with his family, he led a series of expeditions to find the mythical Lost City of the Kalahari. He died in 1974, when Elon was still a small child, but a photo shows that grandfather and grandson bear an uncanny resemblance.
In the 1930s, Haldeman led the Canadian branch of the Technocracy movement, when “technocrat” meant something very different from a bland centrist politician. Then, it was a uniformed movement that marched under the Monad, or yin and yang, symbol, aiming to replace democracy with a society led by engineers. According to Lepore, Haldeman’s politics may have been his key bequest to his grandson.
Believing that science and technology could cure all ills, Haldeman campaigned for the capitalist monetary infrastructure to be replaced by a new universal currency, based on a unit of heat, to be known as the erg. The technocrats even wanted an end to prices, in the view that scientists could handle distribution within society far better than the market.
Such concepts seemed dangerous to the Canadian government, which banned the movement over its opposition to World War 2. The belief system faded away with the growth of prosperity after the war. But similar ideas are inspiring the current excitement over meme stocks, cryptocurrency and the man who now calls himself “Technoking”.
Elon Musk doesn’t even look real. He looks more like a CGI creation. And what is with that weird name? Something’s not right about this guy.
Ya he looks like a cyborg, so does Mark Zuckerberg. It’s all deception for sure

What this all comes down to, and where it came from was the fact that all these men in the video below are atheist’s, they believe they can forward their evolution and become gods, and they absolutely deny the truth that there is a God that exists, that He created all things, evolution is a lie.

Ever wonder why Elon promotes upgraded rockets instead of producing Anti-Gravity Spacecraft that has been around since 1957 ? Our organization could definitely give Elon a jump start in that arena but who is it that holds Elon’s leash that will seek to stop such a merger and would we have to go to war with them?
