The 100-year-old roots of Elon's politics

^{Published on 2025-05-07 06:00:33 - Politico}

- Welcome to POLITICO's West Wing Playbook: Remaking Government, your guide to Donald ... a professor of American politics and international security at the University of Portsmouth who wrote ...

Elon Musk's political views, as discussed in the Politico article from April 17, 2025, are deeply rooted in the philosophies of his grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, a Canadian chiropractor and political activist who ran for public office in the 1930s and 1940s. Haldeman was a proponent of technocracy, a movement that emerged during the Great Depression advocating for a society run by engineers and scientists rather than politicians. This ideology, which emphasized efficiency and scientific management over traditional democratic processes, has influenced Musk's approach to business and governance, evident in his ventures like Tesla and SpaceX, where he seeks to implement technocratic solutions to societal challenges. The article suggests that Musk's vision for the future, including his interest in space colonization and sustainable energy, reflects a continuation of his grandfather's technocratic ideals, aiming to reshape government and society through technological innovation.
