Elon Musk vs. Global Elites: Twitter CEO Warns About Perils of World Government at World Government Summit
“And so I think we want to be a little bit cautious about being too much of a world of a single civilization… the whole thing may collapse.”
Listen to my podcast with commentary and analysis on this topic:
Billionaire tech entrepreneuer Elon Musk gave a warning at the World Government Summit in Dubai about the risks of civilizational collapse if too much power were to be consolidated by globalist elites.
Musk lays out the nightmare scenario that could transpire if there were a centralization of power into the hands of a global cabal.
“One thing I should say, I know this is called the World Government Summit, but I think we should be maybe a little bit concerned about actually becoming too much of a single world government,” Musk said.
“If I may say that we want to avoid creating a civilizational risk by having, frankly, this may sound a little odd, too much a cooperation between governments,” he continued. “You know, if you look at, say… history and the rise and fall of civilizations, really all throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen, but it hasn’t meant the doom of humanity as a whole. Because there’ve been… all these separate civilizations that were separated by great distances.”
“While Rome was falling, you know, Islam was rising, and so you had like… the sort of caliphate doing incredibly well while Rome was doing terribly,” Musk added.
“That actually ended up being a source of preservation of knowledge and and many scientific advancements,” he went on. “And so I think we want to be a little bit cautious about being too much of a world of a single civilization, because if we are too much of a single civilization… the whole thing may collapse.”
“No, I’m not, obviously not suggesting war or anything like that,” he added, “but I think we want to be a little bit wary of actually cooperating too much. It sounds a little odd, but we just want to have some amount of civilizational diversity such that if if something does go wrong with some part of civilization, that the whole thing doesn’t collapse. And, you know, humanity keeps moving forward.”
On Twitter, Elon Musk responded to a tweet from the commenter ALX about the forum address.
“Elon Musk speaks out against the idea of a ‘World Government’ at the ‘World Government Summit’ and warns it could lead to civilizational collapse,” ALX said.
“Seemed like the right venue,” Musk remarked.
Musk’s warning about the ‘civilizational risk’ from world government fits with my view that humanity is now entering dangerous new territory in the aftermath of the Cold War. The nuclear arms race that led to Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) counterintuitively led to the relative absence of unrestricted warfare between Great Powers, what is known to international relations scholars as the “Long Peace.” But this presumably beneficial development for mankind culminated in the rise of asymmetric warfare, such as influence operations and terrorism; the Information Revolution of the 1990s brought about an escalation of Information Warfare (or 5G warfare).
Globalist elites now seek ideological and political “convergence” into a world government that is administered by a “core” of powers that aims to integrate nations from the “periphery” and “the hinterlands.” This is a Hegelian dialectical process that entails the breakdown of intercivilizational barriers, the centralization of decision-making and responses to “emergencies,” and the application of technological means to control the global population’s travel and communications. On a practical level, this entails administration by unelected officials in international bodies, such as the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and the United Nations.
The war in Ukraine may be seen through the lens of Russia resisting integration into this globalist “core.” NATO is fighting back against Russia’s incursion into Ukraine using 5G warfare, while Putin has been relying upon a realpolitik grand strategy of using pipeline politics to maintain regional influence. The Nord Stream pipeline sabotage may thus be viewed as an attempt to undermine Russia’s ability to resist this integration into the global community. It now appears that Western powers are willing to risk nuclear war in order to expand their reach, as we have witnessed with the recent naval mobilization of nuclear-armed warships into the Baltic Sea, where the Nord Stream populeines were blown up. Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh has argued this was an operation ordered by President Joe Biden.
However, there is a principle in military strategy that you never press an enemy too hard; you must always allow a limited retreat. NATO may be backing Russia into a corner too forcefully, and this could lead to disastrous consequences.
Whether it is nuclear war or civilizational collapse after centralizing too much power into a world government, humanity is entering a Brave New World. Mankind would do well to heed the warnings from history, instead of brazenly believing that we can rewrite it. The hubris of elites may indeed be our downfall.
Meanwhile, speaking of the hubris of elites, Elon Musk recently declared an end to cancel culture on Twitter.
Musk was responding to a discussion between podcast host Joe Rogan and journalist Matt Taibbi who helped publish the “Twitter files” exposé.
“RIP Cancel Culture, you won’t be missed,” Musk stated in a tweet on Feb. 14.
In the podcast discussing “Twitter 2.0 and the Fall of Cancel Culture,” Rogan stated that the platform had become more pro-freedom of speech under Musk.
“Now people aren’t scared to speak their mind on Twitter, like you’re seeing so much pushback. When someone types something on Twitter now, and it’s ridiculous, now people aren’t scared to go in after it,” he said.
“They’re not worried about losing their account, which they were before, which is, I think, one of the more interesting things about Elon Musk buying Twitter is that you are seeing a much more vigorous debate.”
Taibbi shared the sentiment as well. His “Twitter files” exposé had revealed that the influential social media company engaged in censorship, at times at the behest of U.S. government agencies prior to Musk’s takeover.
“I hope that’s one of the results [of Musk acquiring Twitter]. The old Twitter was just a grindstone of official messaging where if you said like a micrometer outside of whatever the narrative was, you could expect to be descended upon by all these people,” he stated in the podcast.
“You just ended up not wanting to bother. So, you wouldn’t say anything … I hope people are feeling encouraged to say more now.”
Rogan and Taibbi also discussed the public smear campaign against Musk for standing up to elites. Listen:
It has become obvious the temptation to use 5G Information Warfare against domestic populations has proven to be too much for unprincipled elites to resist.
Musk’s vision is that centralization of information, and consolidation of power, by global elites could prove truly disastrous for human civilization.
It makes Elon Musk’s stand for freedom of speech that much more important, and it is vital that he follows through and ensures it is maintained and improved on Twitter.
Absolutely! Very well said, thanks.
well what would you say to his wanting Transhumanism, or other Elite goals?
