Elon Musk is different than prior American business tycoons. Arguably, he is more powerful. More poignantly, as my guest argues, he is less dedicated to democracy, and that makes him frighteningly more dangerous.
In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest scholar:
►Who was Andrew Carnegie?
►How was he similar to Musk?
►How was Carnegie - once the richest man in the world - different than Musk?
►What was Carnegie's political relationship with Washington and his outlook for America?
►Who was William Randolph Hearst?
►How was his promotional reach bigger than Musk's?
►Was Hearst a Nazi?
►How was Hearst's relationship with politics and Washington different than Musk's?
►How did Hearst finally get into trouble with the people?
►Who was Joseph P. Kennedy?
►How did he make his money? In what aspects was he similar to Musk?
►Was Kennedy a Nazi sympathizer?
►How was Kennedy's relationship with FDR different than Musk's relationship with Pres. Trump?
