Elon Musk<\/span> is an avatar of digital capitalism: He both embodies and defines it. In \u201cMuskism: A Guide for the Perplexed,\u201d co-author Quinn Slobodian examines how Musk\u2019s actions have altered American capitalism by changing its relationship with the federal government while ushering in a new, technologically driven political economy that\u2019s upending our lives.<\/p>

On this week\u2019s More To The Story<\/em>, Slobodian talks with host Al Letson about how the world\u2019s richest person exploits government investment to his own financial benefit and the many ways this intersects with his views on race and technology. It\u2019s nothing less than a futuristic vision of a frightening new world order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is the social contract of Muskism?\u201d Slobodian asks. \u201cYou will be locked into a kind of cult of Elon and so ideologically bolted onto him that you\u2019d never question his decisions.\u201d<\/p>

Slobodian also touches on the ways Musk fused himself to the American economy\u2014and our imagination\u2014and how growing up in South Africa shaped Musk\u2019s white supremacist worldview.<\/p>\n
