Elon Musk: Will his power be an obstacle in the future?
This post was written by a student. It has not been fact checked or edited.
I believe that Elon Musk’s power could be a problem in the future. Elon Musk is a very well-known man, not always for good reasons. Lately, I don’t believe he’s been in the news for anything good. From political “interference”, to X, there’s no ending to his problems. Honestly speaking, he is quite an immature man. If he keeps showing this disturbingly low level of maturity, it could result in a serious problem for America, and the world.
One example of this is, in 2022, when Elon took over X, the use of hateful language spiked amazingly high. Why? Because of the amount of interesting information being spread there. Naturally, when an opinion isn’t being shared between a group, there are bound to be some disagreements. Then, of course some people might leave some more hateful comments than others, but that is no excuse. Elon should be able to control the amount of hateful comments that are being put publicly on his platform.
Another example of Elon being immature is, in January 2025, Mr. Musk was seen on X (formerly Twitter) expressing a pretty bad opinion of a refugee charity. Since then, the charity volunteers have been receiving some highly concerning messages and threats. Not only did he use his social media prowess to bully smaller people, but he did it for no known reason. Which I believe is quite immature, and not very helpful in his case,
Overall, I believe that Elon Musk is quite an immature man. I’m afraid if he doesn’t step up soon, America, and the world could suffer.

Elon Musk has done a vast diversity of things that, no doubt, may affect the future negatively or be an obstacle in the future so I think he could be an obstacle in the future. These things will be in the following list : Displacement After the recent technological innovation, also in jobs, some people people's jobs have been displaced by advanced AI or robots; this is very much related to MR Musk whose AIS and robots are outstanding breakthroughs recently affecting workers and sometimes creating socioeconomic challenges.
Space debris
In recent years, the number of satellites launched by Space X ( his company ) has rapidly increased, leading to space debris. This could lead to the loss of some satellites and space missions, which will negatively affect the future.
Resource strain
The high demand for materials that make electric vehicles, like cobalt and many others, could strain global resources and cause an environmental problem.
After seeing those innovations, we knew that technology or innovations bring both opportunities and challenges; hence we need to take care.
