imo - It seems to be a perspective thing.
The public have no idea what people like Elon Musk think. But, after hearing 3rd party information. Seem to know whats what with Elon.
The umbrella corporations, vilifying Elon Musk/super villain/mad boss head.
Ironically, will support people just as 'shady' as Elon Like, Bill Gates/receiver of the most free 'fly miles' on Epstein's Lolita Express plane.
Its all about manipulating the narrative/perspective.
He who controls the narrative, controls the people ..well, that seems to be the hope.
FYI -
I think, both 'sides' (if you consider them as two sides) are in the wrong.
And that, our modern societies are suffering from a lesser known effect called Millennium Syndrome.
Don't google 'Millennium Syndrome', it won't come up. Its an internal, medical/psychoanalyst term.
Its about how humans, every thousand years (every millennium) become extremists/irrational (for approx. 300 years).
Before, returning to a 'normal' state.
This has happened every millennium, since human records began (across the whole globe).
Its actually one of the ideas that birthed the psychoanalyst field (inspiring Sigmund Freud to start the field).
Before, this syndrome had only been quoted by philosophers.
There are suspicions about what causes this syndrome to occur (both in the social and physical worlds).
But, this milenium ..is the first where medicine are actually studying the syndrome ..in Live time.
The internet, has allowed medical staff to examine this syndrome globally
There is still no 'one answer' as to what causes it.
My opinion, some of the factors connect to the internal workings of the planet. And changes there, actually effect human consciousness.
But, thats a pet theory of mine (and others).
Our leaders are worried about it, because ..now more than ever we have the ability to destroy everything/each other.
Add an unnatural amount of radicalism to that equation. Thats why countries globally funded this 'quiet' study (started back in the 1990's).
Peace.
