Is Elon Musk’s power a problem?
This post was written by a student. It has not been fact checked or edited.
My Standpoint is about Elon Musk's power. Elon Musks is very powerful within social media as he owns X. Recently he has said negative things about a German political party in the election using his platform. He has 219 million followers which will persuade a lot of people. My second reason to think his power is a problem is because he is now presidential adviser to President Trump and together they have a lot of power to make change. Musk is also the number one richest person in the world, with a net worth of $353 billion dollars. With that money, he can buy big companies which are able to change the way we live. He owns technology companies, like Tesla, Space X, xAI and others. With these companies he can use his own opinion to get round to others. So for example, he could say negative things about Ukraine’s leader President Zelensky and change people’s views. He can manipulate people's decisions about the Ukraine war and many other important things. Some people believe Musk is a positive person bringing good to our planet like creating electric car batteries for Tesla and Starlink which has helped Ukraine to be able to communicate during the war.
I believe overall his power is a problem.
