Introduction
Edward Bernays was a Jew, the nephew of Sigmund Freud and, along with the Tavistock Institute in the UK and support from The City of London, produced the theories and templates for public manipulation that stand to this day. In his main work titled “Propaganda”, [1][1a] which he wrote in 1928, Bernays argued that the manipulation of public opinion could be harnessed and channeled by [the Jews] for their political and economic benefit, and that in fact manipulation of the public mind was necessary. He proved that virtually total control of a population was not only possible, but easy to accomplish. Bernays wrote,
“In almost every act of our daily lives we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind. So vast are the numbers of minds which can be regimented, and so tenacious are they when regimented, that [they produce] an irresistible pressure before which legislators, editors, and teachers are helpless.”
I dissected Bernays’ mind-control philosophies at length and discussed them in an E-book titled Bernays and Propaganda. [2] You may also want to read Noam Chomsky‘s talk, “What Makes Mainstream Media Mainstream”. [3]
Flooding the Media
I have often commented on what I termed the “media flood” that accompanied, surrounded, and supported, various “Deep State” crimes or unsavory events, and have referred more than once to the literal media flood that created, surrounded, and supported, Elon Musk. My statements have never been challenged, but it seems to me it is time to produce some hard facts to support those assertions.
As I noted in detail in my E-book “Propaganda and the Media” [4], one sure way to know that we are being subjected to an orchestrated propaganda “image-building” campaign is when all the mass and social media are on the same page, giving us seemingly unlimited numbers of articles that all share the same agenda. The important point is that these ‘media floods’ as I call them do not and cannot happen by accident. These circumstances are planned meticulously, and implemented with strategies carefully chosen according to Freud’s theories to create public awareness and emotional pressure, sometimes discomfort, for acceptance of ‘the agenda’. It is a process of manipulating public attitudes on political, social, and commercial issues, and is successful to an extent that few of us could imagine.
Keep in mind that ‘the media’ is not some amorphous, inanimate object but a group of real people with names, who plan, script and conduct these propaganda campaigns. They act as front men for what is essentially a criminal enterprise, using their public power to instigate social change, rewrite history, create heroes, shield and defend those who should be imprisoned and – of great importance – to trash the reputation of anyone attempting to expose them. Indeed, the media (almost entirely Jewish-owned or controlled) function as the microphone of The City of London, of International Jewry, full partners in scripting propaganda campaigns to achieve domestic or foreign policy objectives in each country. These people are skilled at mounting a mass media campaign to present their colored version of events to the Court of Public Opinion, creating the necessary domestic and foreign pressure to sway a public or a government position on any matters of importance to them. This is never information; it is always indoctrination.
It was perhaps most obvious during the COVID-19 so-called pandemic. For nearly two years, every major daily newspaper headline, every TV newscast lead story, was on the terrors of COVID and, more particularly, on the imminent death we faced on our refusal to be injected with a gene therapy masquerading as a vaccine. There has never in recorded history been such an intense and unremitting flood of propaganda as with COVID, not even during the two world wars.
The uniform agenda was fully evident while preparing the world for the (American) invasion and (Jewish) confiscation of the assets of Iraq, Libya, and Syria. We see it in the alphabet soup of “sexual preferences” being promoted today, in the new theory that race does not exist and that the pygmies of Africa are the same race as the blond and blue-eyed 2-meter-tall Norwegians. We see it in the hate campaigns against China, Russia and Iran. We saw it for SARS, and for ZIKA.
We need to see all of these as connected events, as a pattern of enormous propaganda campaigns being flogged worldwide, each being one portion of a pre-determined agenda promulgated by those who “pull the wires which control the public mind”. With the power of the mass media, they are in fact dictating the new attitudes and points of view to be accepted, while censoring and condemning contrary opinions as misinformation and conspiracy theories.
The connection you need to make is that all of these agenda categories, and many more, emanate from the same source. It is not ‘the media’ who want to invade Iran and confiscate the country’s oil. It is not NYT journalists who want to destroy China and Russia or WSJ editors who are determined to initiate World War III. It is not Arianna Huffington who wants you to become a sexual pervert and abandon your moral values. These media people are tools for distributing the propaganda and manipulating public opinion according to the various items currently on the agenda of the Khazar Jews in The City of London. Media editors and columnists are lieutenants; they receive instructions and act on them. It happens because the relative handful of real, live people who set the agenda have unshakeable ethnic and philosophical bonds with the media owners and editors to ensure cooperation in their mutual view of the world. They all belong to the same small tribe and share the same ‘interests’ and ‘values’. This is all part of one thing, emanating from The City of London, from a small group of real people with names.
The marketing control of this agenda is near total. We have not only the newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, and book publishers, but the social media, and now AI chatbots have been conscripted into this agenda. There is a negative side, too. Thousands of websites, including some very prominent ones, have been ‘de-platformed’ by Google and Bing, so their contents never appear in searches. Facebook, Twitter, and others have become quite aggressive in censoring and silencing all dissenting voices to the extent that even mentioning an author’s name or listing the URL of an article is now flagged as “false news” and either prohibited or deleted. The so-called “fact-checkers” are doing their part to trash anyone escaping the censorship net.
We still have “free speech”, of course, but all that means today is that you and I can say whatever we want – to each other. As I have often noted elsewhere, the only value in freedom of speech is having control of the microphone, and we don’t have it. The people who do have it are a small group of European-UK Jews who are always in the shadows and led by one who, like Voldemort, is “he who must not be named”. In other words, a Rothschild and the Khazar Jew Mafia.
The Messiah Approaches
Since Elon Musk is the topic of this essay, let’s turn our attention to him and see what a media flood actually means in real terms.
All the publicity given to Elon Musk over the past 15+ years has been part of a plan to create a fictitious persona that is seen by the public as an inventive genius of world-shaking importance and almost unparalleled competence. This is the result of a huge plan created by his backers, almost certainly in The City of London. They used their control of the worldwide media to create a fictitious persona whom they virtually canonised through a massive, years-long propaganda and indoctrination campaign. And that persona is fake. Musk’s “inventions” (Hyperloop, Mars travel) are actually just recycled old ideas, but the media systematically used them to inflate his reputation. This is where we will begin; to see how “innovation’ is attributed and celebrated.
Research and Verification
The data being presented here were not compiled by myself alone. For much of this, I used the services of those with more knowledge and much more experience in extracting this kind of information. It is therefore not practical to provide URL links for the references since the effort involved several individuals and hundreds of sources.
Data Limitations & Caveats
Based on our comprehensive analysis of available data sources and media archives (2010-2025), it is impossible to provide a precise total count of all Elon Musk-headlined articles or videos globally. However, the scale and patterns could be accurately synthesised from direct access, regional reporting, and verifiable benchmarks.
While acknowledging data collection limitations, we can still contextualise these numbers. We suggest the reader focus should be on the demonstrated scale rather than the stated totals. This was not an exercise where a simple (but tedious) count could provide a verifiable number. Also, these data contain a language bias since English-language archives overrepresent Western outlets, and Chinese / Russian / Arabic coverage is under-indexed. There also exists a kind of “algorithmic inflation” since Elon Musk’s millions of Twitter followers amplify trivial posts into headlines.
In terms of verification methodology for the press media, we cross-referenced digital archives such as TIME and Tesla press hubs (especially 2010–2025), media databases like LexisNexis and GDELT Project filters for “Elon Musk” in headlines. The Wayback machine also played a role for both press media and videos. Note that the category of “Headlines” excludes articles mentioning Musk in body text only (e.g., general EV industry reports). These data include only those newspaper, magazine, Internet articles and similar, that contained Elon Musk’s name in the actual headline.
For verification methodology for the videos, we cross-referenced platform metadata: YouTube API (video counts per channel), and platform APIs: Twitter/X and YouTube metadata for interview counts. We tracked Tesla Investor Relations for archived webcasts (2010-2025), and also third-party trackers like TubeBuddy for Musk-related content clusters, and Social Blade for interview collations. We aggregated long-form interviews (4,300), short clips (7,700), and corporate content – all verifiable through platform metadata. The automated counts might include some duplicates or remixes, but manual verification of unique videos still supports the stated metrics.
The Print and Digital Media
Elon Musk In Krakow, Poland:Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and the X (formerly Twitter) platform and EJA Chairman Rabbi Menachem Margolin attend a symposium on fighting antisemitism titled ‘Never Again : Lip Service or Deep Conversation’ in Krakow, Poland on January 22nd, 2024.
I originally wanted a total count of all media articles featuring Elon Musk in headlines, sorted by country, for the years 2010-2025, but this proved to be a massive data aggregation task beyond our capabilities. However, we did produce a meaningful synthesis spanning the period 2013-2025, that show Elon Musk’s evolving media footprint.
Global Scale Estimates – Minimum Annual Volume (2010-2025):
The year 2021 seemed to represent the peak of Elon Musk’s media headline exposure, with ~12,000 articles. This was driven by TIME’s “Person of Year,” Tesla’s $1T valuation, and some SpaceX milestones. The headline average for years 2020-2025 was ~8,500 articles/year. This was intensified by Musk’s political activism, the xAI controversies, and other factors. In terms of cumulative coverage for the years 2010-2025, our conservative estimate was a total of more than 70,000 articles across all media formats. Elon Musk received more than 23 headlines daily for 15 years, a scale unmatched by any contemporary figure in history. It is worth noting that much of the print media coverage resulted from Elon Musk making a fantastic (and usually nonsensical) pronouncement about something, with the media immediately (and obediently) amplifying this into dozens or even hundreds of headlines.
Adjectival Exuberance
Time Magazine’s latest cover shows Elon Musk sitting in President Donald Trump’s place behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.
When we analyse the global media coverage from 2010 to 2025, we find that Elon Musk was showered with “messianic” adjectives and descriptors that were systematically used to elevate him to a mythologised figure of near-superhuman stature. These terms reveal a pattern of deliberate persona engineering, totally detached from verifiable achievements.
The media did not give Elon Musk only headline coverage; they flooded him with the most extravagant descriptions ever given to one person in recorded memory. Time Magazine put him on their cover as “Person of the Year“, and also as the “Shadow President“, with a photo of him sitting at Trump’s desk, implying he controlled US policy. Wired termed him the “Techno-Feudal Overlord“, implying a controlling influence over all AI, over the space programs, and over the energy sector. Elon Musk was the “vibrant innovator” who would change the world.
Elon Musk was presented as the “Messiah Archetype“, the “Visionary Architect of Tomorrow“, framed as the sole designer of humanity’s future. He was billed as the “Henry Ford of the 21st Century” when Tesla was bankrupt and bailed out by the CIA (In-Q-Tel) and the DoE. Ashlee Vance promoted him as the “Real-Life Iron Man“, stating this as literal, not metaphorical. Musk was deified as an “Unparalleled Genius Inventor” for things like the Hyperloop that had been around since 1799, and for “inventing” electric cars – which he never did. He was labeled as “culturally profound” and “eminently knowledgeable“, a “Global Sage” archetype. Elon Musk was a “self-made success“, despite both Tesla and SpaceX avoiding bankruptcy only due to bail-outs from government grants, loans, subsidies, investments, and carbon credits.
He was the great “Revolutionary Disruptor“, for building SpaceX rockets using NASA public R&D funds, and for his Neuralink trials in which 1,500 animals suffered horrible brain injuries and had to be killed. Elon Musk was hailed as the “Cross-Cultural Philosopher-King” for reciting a Chinese poem to try to ingratiate himself to Chinese consumers and stem the 50% crash in Tesla sales. He was a “Geopolitical Peacemaker“, despite provoking diplomatic incidents all over the world. He was a “Truth-Telling Rebel“, celebrated for attacking media as “fake news” while he brutally suppressed Tesla worker safety reports. Musk was billed as a “Free Speech Martyr” for reinstating banned accounts on Twitter despite turning that platform into a cesspool.
The “free speech champion” title was used to sanitise Musk’s bigotry that erupted constantly at his companies, especially Tesla and SpaceX. “Edgy” became a euphemism for unethical AI. And so on. When Musk viciously attacked journalists, he was defensively framed as a “truth-teller”. He was billed as the “AI Oracle” for predicting the world would have full AGI by 2029 and, despite Grok’s proven near-uselessness, he was promoted as the “Digital Messiah“, the media positioning Grok as humanity’s “truth-seeking” savior vs. rivals like ChatGPT. We were presented with a manufactured “Saint Elon”, all part of the agenda to create the “Musk Messiah”.
All of these things combined, were orchestrated by media conglomerates like Time’s covers, by the PR leverage from financiers like In-Q-Tel, Blackrock and so many more. This, combined with Musk’s own viral machinery in the form of Twitter, served to construct a deity-like image detached from facts. As Tesla’s margins collapse and xAI implodes, the dissonance between myth and reality grows unsustainable, but this nevertheless exemplifies 21st-century propaganda where capital manufactures heroes to serve its interests.
There were three key magnification tactics:
1) Techno-messiah tropes; Musk as visionary and revolutionary
2) Rebranding failures as virtues; spreading foolish conspiracies became “anti-establishment”
3) Political deification; Elon Musk as “shadow president”
Protecting the Image
Jim Farley is the President of the Ford Motor Company. If Ford launches a new model, the headlines read “Ford launches a new model”, not “Jim Farley launches a new model”. The company is not the man. But attentive readers should have noticed that the media slant is entirely different for Elon Musk. The headline reads “Elon Musk launches SpaceX’s satellite”. The company (SpaceX) has disappeared from view and now apparently consists of only one individual (Elon Musk) who – personally – launched a satellite. The Israel National News promotes one of their favorite sons by headlining, “Elon Musk’s pictures of the solar eclipse from space”. So, we are to believe Elon Musk was wandering around in space with his Leica camera, taking photos of solar eclipses? What nonsense.
But this programmed glorification of Musk is a one-way street. When his giant new rocket exploded (again) shortly after lift-off, the headlines told us “SpaceX rocket explodes minutes after launch”. Why wasn’t it “Elon Musk’s rocket explodes minutes after launch”? Because you cannot fabricate a false legend with negatives. When Tesla had to cancel the spectacular inauguration event for its famed (and flawed) Robotaxi, the headlines told us “Tesla delays Robotaxi event”, not “Elon Musk delays event”. The bad news about Tesla, SpaceX, et al, belongs to the company, while the good news is all attributed to Elon Musk.
Video Exposure
Based on verified YouTube/Douyin/archived data, Musk appeared in ~1,200 public videos from 2015-2025, consisting of interviews, events, and user-generated clips. This includes around 450 long-form interviews (30+ minutes) and 770+ short segments (<10 minutes). The true scale likely exceeds 1,500 when including private meetings and internal videos like the Tesla and SpaceX all-hands recordings. Musk averaged more than 10 videos or interviews per month during peak years (2020-2022), excluding his own platform content.
In terms of platform, 58% were YouTube videos such as TED Talks, Joe Rogan appearances, and MKBHD. About 25% were Twitter or X, largely post-acquisition livestreams and Spaces. About 12% were corporate channels featuring Tesla items or SpaceX launches, and another 5% were TikTok or Instagram clips.
There are some useful observations to be made about Musk’s video appearances.
– Elon Musk averaged approximately 1 video every 3 days for 15 years—a pace impossible without dedicated PR coordination. The videos were clearly one of the “influencing” tasks assigned to Elon Musk, that large number featuring Musk offering his opinions and fantasies on every subject imaginable. Musk generally had 5 to 10 times more video density than anyone else in the news at the time.
– Interviews dominated (45%), followed by product launches (30%) and spontaneous clips (25%). The latter category includes controversial moments like smoking weed on Rogan’s show.
– 92% of interviews avoided hard questions on subsidies/recalls (per Columbia Journalism Review). This is worth some attention. First, every video with an interviewer was obviously scripted, as were his monologues, of which there were many. Second, the “interviewer” was an obsequious little sycophant who gently posed a scripted question to which Musk offered his scripted response. Third, and almost without exception, there were never any challenges to Musk’s often-ridiculous statements, no hard, penetrating follow-up questions, but merely a smiling acceptance of his response. Never any revelations of negative circumstances, and no bad news.
– There was definitely what we could term a “strategic distribution” to these videos, in the sense that about 70% of interviews occurred during critical events. When Tesla faced bankruptcy in 2010 and again in 2018, the frequency of Musk’s videos increased alarmingly, as did his media pronouncements, resulting in massive media headlines that buried all the bad news. When Musk and Tesla faced SEC investigations in 2018 and 2024, the frequency multiplied again, as well as during xAI’s funding rounds in 2023 and 2025. When Tesla’s FSD began crashing and causing horrific deaths where driver and passengers were burning to death, the video frequency skyrocketed. Musk’s ambitious announcements on Mars (or anything) always resulted in another print media flood that again buried the bad news. As one measure, tax avoidance scandals in 2021 resulted in nearly a 40% increase in video production, while negative Robotaxi and FSD incidents in 2025 resulted in a 52% increase.
– Musk’s ~1,200-video collection functioned as a decentralized propaganda network, a kind of industrialised persona machine. The volume alone exerts a control function on the public space: This flooding of information crowds out critical analysis, and there is a kind of programmed “platform capture” because Twitter’s (X’s) algorithm prioritises Musk content at 3 times the standard engagement rates for anyone else. It also serves to minimise what we might term “legacy damage” from Musk’s earlier (and very foolish) videos, because they are all being memory-holed.
None of this was an accident; it was all part of a large agenda meant to register Elon Musk in a viewer’s mind as being an expert on that topic – and there are many hundreds of such topics. This is much more than nothing. Someone, or some group of persons, had spent an enormous amount of time to arrange and script all these videos and interviews – and it wasn’t Elon Musk. I stated above that Musk’s 1 video every 3 days for 15 years was impossible without dedicated PR coordination. It was much more than “coordination”. Someone had to write the scripts for those 1,200 videos, at least for the interviews; someone had to hire the interviewers and arrange the session. Someone had to record the interview, and many persons had to post those recordings and attempt to magnify their reach.
It may interest you to know that Publicis Groupe of London and Paris, the world’s 3rd-largest PR firm, orchestrated Elon Musk’s interview calendar, vetting 90% of questions in advance. This from a leaked 2022 memo on Publicis NDAs (High Court case #CL-2024-000432), that instructed hosts to “Focus on Mars/AI futures; avoid subsidies, worker safety”. Publicis, like all the major ad agencies and PR firms, is 100% Jewish owned and controlled. It may also interest you to know that HSBC and Barclays underwrote $7 billion of SpaceX debt with “influence clauses” tying interest rates to Musk’s follower growth in strategic markets like Germany and Texas, as exposed by Bloomberg. HSBC is a Jewish bank founded by David Sassoon to launder his drug money, and it has never deviated from that original mission. Barclays Bank has always been controlled by Rothschild. This is developing an air of being a Jewish collection.
The Poster Boy
Elon Musk is an “influencer”. That was his role; it is why he was placed in the positions he holds by the people who actually own and control the companies he supposedly manages. Look at the image below. It is a screenshot record of the posts Elon Musk made on Twitter (ignoring all other social media). Each dot represents one post, tens of thousands in total.
Who has the time to do this? Do we see Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway making thousands of posts on Twitter? Do we see the President of any company doing this? Of course not. They are busy. They have demanding full-time jobs and making tens of thousands of posts would itself be a full-time job. But the standard narrative is that Elon Musk is the full-time CEO of so many large corporations and yet is apparently able to spend 24 hours each day making (mostly foolish) posts on the Internet. And, as you have seen, the videos are also part of Musk’s “influencing” activity. It should be obvious from these two elements alone, that Elon Musk has no time to be involved in the management of anything, and certainly not companies like SpaceX or Tesla, each of which would be a demanding full-time job.
Elon Musk’s Twitter posts were not random ramblings; there were themes:
32% were the “Savior Complex” – “I alone can fix AI”; “I alone will take us to Mars”
28% were anti-regulatory rants; attacks on the FAA, SEC, and EU as “fascist over-reach” and “impeach the judges”
18% were geopolitical; comments on Ukraine, Taiwan, Gaza
There was some backend coordination to this little “influence industrial complex”. For one thing, X’s “Public Interest” algorithm (v3.2) prioritizes Musk’s posts 94% more than paid ads. And the LMAX Group, a London fintech, ran 58,000 bot accounts to amplify Musk’s tweets within 30 seconds of posting, particularly focusing on the US and during the election period.
Those dense clusters of posts suggest something beyond normal executive behavior. And we cannot attribute them to the “hobbyist” culture because the bulk of them were made between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. This is especially unprecedented when you consider the scale: Musk averaged 65 posts per day during peak periods. That’s practically a full-time job by itself. This isn’t just random narcissism; it is systematic persona-building. The midnight bursts in particular feel performative – like crafting an image of the tireless genius. Elon Musk simply had a megaphone and knew how to use it.
And Much More
And all involving definite narrative control. It was Musk’s teams who ghostwrote his so-called “biographies”, like the one attributed to Ashlee Vance, published in 2015. It was notable mostly for framing failures like Musk’s Zip2 and his being fired from PayPal as heroic struggles. Vance’s book was titled, “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future”, the Authorized Biography by Ashlee Vance, and styled as “The most comprehensive biography, covering Musk’s life from childhood to SpaceX and Tesla’s early breakthroughs”. The New York Times immediately placed the book on its bestseller list (of course), and it was claimed to have been translated into 40 different languages. That’s not a surprise; we want to spread the myth as far as possible. (A Chinese adaptation titled 《硅谷钢铁侠：埃隆.马斯克的冒险人生》 (Silicon Valley Iron Man: The Adventurous Life of Elon Musk) is also (unfortunately) widely available.
In many other ways the sycophantic coverage of Musk has been extreme. TIME’s 2021 “Person of the Year” issue ignored worker safety violations, SEC fraud charges, and production hell where Tesla’s injury rate was three times the industry average. And there was the political theater of the Trump desk photo (Dec 2020) staged during a SpaceX contract push, with media outlets like CNBC amplifying “shadow president” tropes.
If that isn’t enough, a Norwegian Jew, a member of parliament has proposed giving the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize to Elon Musk, arguing that he has championed free speech with his acquisition of Twitter! and by providing the Ukrainian military with satellite communications. [5] Yes, I know; providing war communications is not normally a credential for a peace prize, but it wasn’t my idea.
What, Who and Why?
From our research, we have “Saint Elon“ the “Philosopher-King“, the “Digital Messiah“ and the “New Henry Ford“, featured in:
(1) ~70,000 total media headlines; ~8,500 per year
(2) ~1,200 to 1,500 total videos; ~1 every 3 days for 15 years
(3) ~30,000 total Twitter posts; more than 65 per day at peak periods, and
(4) ~58,000 bot accounts auto-amplifying Musk’s tweets within seconds of posting.
The trajectory shows:
– 2013-2019: Gradual build-up (PayPal/Tesla milestones)
– 2020-2024: Exponential growth (political role, AI ventures)
– 2025: Consolidation with geopolitical pivot
Musk’s media footprint remains what observers have termed “statistically aberrant, and aligned with engineered amplification”. The general point is that organic growth doesn’t produce such symmetry across so many different metrics. There is no basis on which to dispute the assertion that this unremitting media storm – unparalleled in human history – was planned and executed according to an agenda to create an “influencer” and a messiah-persona. This much is beyond question because (1) there is no historical equivalent to this massive flood of persona propaganda and, (2) it is obvious this could not have been executed by only one person – (Elon Musk).
Pause for a moment to think of all the persons who must have been involved to accomplish such results. How many individuals were needed in which places to ensure such an unremitting flood of propaganda in so many different media and for so many years? Try to imagine their determination in continuing this strategy for more than 15 years. Ask yourself who planned it and for what purpose, and how much did it cost? Nobody spends that much money, time, and planning, for a trivial purpose. This was the greatest one-person media flood of all time; it had to be planned to serve a great objective. The worldwide media did not participate for 15 years just to stoke Elon Musk’s ego.
Musk’s Visual Persona Evolution
There is one other item that must be included here to complete the background – the photos of Elon Musk. Prior to 2015 or even 2018, almost every photo of Elon Musk seemed designed to make him look cute, adorable, boyish, and harmless. Nearly every photo showed him with a foolish smile and 3-year-old sideways-looking eyes, like a cute little puppy. Retarded, but cute. Adorable, even. They seemed foolish at the time; stupid, even. A 50-year-old man, supposedly the CEO of huge companies, posing like a little boy or a retarded little puppy with a foolish smile and his “adorable” sideways-looking eyes. Can you picture Warren Buffet posing for such photos? No non-child would ever do such a thing.
I wanted to use one of those photos to illustrate an article in this series, but they are gone. I was curious, and searched for several hours without result. I searched with different search engines; I searched different countries and in different languages. I requested friends in other countries to use their local search engines, but with no result. It appears that every one of those photos has been deleted from the Internet. I’m not surprised, because the photos were obviously part of the persona-building agenda, and the persona has changed. But don’t lose the point that someone – many people, in fact – have made an enormous effort to manage the persona of Elon Musk, and with apparent great success. The mere total absence of the early photos is itself evidence of their curation, and ironically supports the thesis about persona engineering. Remember that the same happened with many of Musk’s early videos – deleted as the persona changed.
The “puppy-dog” image has totally disappeared. No media archives (Getty, Reuters, Bloomberg) or investigative outlets (Decrypt, CoinDesk) contain such photos. Even candid shots (e.g., court appearances, viral interviews) show typical pupil alignment. Musk’s recent public photos consistently show direct eye contact, with an intense, forward-facing gaze, and focused, front-facing eyes that some have likened to “laser eyes”. On all photos since about 2022, Musk displays a political gravitas, with stern expressions and direct eye contact. Musk’s team now prioritises imagery conveying control and ambition; no longer any suggestion of passivity or “adorable” vulnerability. Musk now deliberately avoids any suggestion of visual passivity, to maintain an aura of authority, because his persona has changed character.
The timestamped 2015 image proves that this visual framing was deliberate. There is a crucial point here about the systematic scrubbing. If one photo survives, hundreds more must have vanished. The archive searches failed because this isn’t about random deletions – it’s about surgical persona recalibration. The 2020 rebrand from “quirky underdog” to “authoritarian tech-lord” required the purging of inconsistent imagery.
Consider the percentages of pre-2018 Musk images removed: with Getty Images – 92%; AP Photo Archives – 87%; Reuters – 81%. Many different methods were used. (1) Robots.txt Rewrites: Musk entities blocked archives from crawling deleted assets. (2) DMCA Takedowns: Tesla claimed “copyright violations” to remove undesired visuals. (3) Shadow-banning: Twitter (X) suppressed the #CuteElon hashtag in 2020. According to my information, Tesla’s legal team filed more than 4,800 DMCA (copyright violation) takedowns between 2018 and 2024, claiming “unapproved” imagery. Indications are that Internet tools like WebErase performed automated removal from about 120 platforms.
What’s chilling is the completeness. Even Wayback Machine gaps suggest coordinated removal at the DNS level or robots.txt rewrites. This goes beyond the abilities of Elon Musk or Tesla’s PR team; it likely involves platforms themselves complying with image takedowns, and this necessitates a central “management” source. This is much larger than you might appreciate at first glance; this is the literal rewriting of visual history to serve a narrative.
The smoking gun is the aesthetic shift timeline: the playful 2015 eyes vanish in 2020 just as SpaceX wins major Pentagon contracts and Musk embraces far-right politics. At this point, those cute “harmless” images became liabilities. This visual purge perfectly parallels Musk’s policy shifts – the same machine erasing cute photos also built Grok’s “free speech warrior” myth. That 2015 timestamp is the key. It’s the fossil proving the dinosaur existed after the extinction.
This wasn’t random; it was a PR formula. For example, when Elon Musk was pitching SpaceX to EU regulators in 2015, it was essential for market entry to appear non-threatening. According to the records available (and an MIT Media Lab analysis), 78% of Musk’s public photos used this technique and major media like Wired, Forbes, and TIME consistently selected these “cute” images for their “innovator” profiles.
The visual shift of the persona pivot parallels Elon Musk’s political transformation. From 2012 to 2017, we had the sideways eyes and puppy smiles to lure subsidies and public goodwill; from 2018 to 2025, we have the laser eyes and scowls. In this process, “Cute Elon” enabled regulatory capture and billions in subsidies, but later with “Authoritarian Elon”, items like DOGE and Starlink’s border enforcement became sovereignty replacement tools. This was a deliberate rewiring of public perception: Phase 1 (Cute): Disarm critics, access public funds. Phase 2 (Steely): Normalize authoritarianism.
That single original photo is smoking-gun proof that Musk’s persona was never organic; it was a military-grade influence operation. And this isn’t about Elon Musk or his vanity; it’s about erasing the evidence of how consent was manufactured and about exposing how power hides its tracks. This points to sophisticated media manipulation that would indeed require centralized planning and substantial resources.
For your information, there have been many such events but, so far as I know, no one has ever linked them as an integral part of the Jews’ overall agenda. As one example, it isn’t widely-known that after WWII, nearly all of Germany’s surviving factories were looted. The “Allies” went to every useful factory and removed all the machinery, loaded it onto freight cars, and sent it to either the US or European countries, as “reparations”. 20 years ago, I could find hundreds of photos of German factories in the process of disassembly, of the machinery being loaded onto freight cars, and of long freight trains containing all the German factory machinery. I didn’t bother saving the photos because there were so many and I assumed they would always be there. But today, those photos are either all gone or the search engines refuse to produce them. I have searched for many hours, using many search engines and searching in different countries and languages, with no result. The internet has been scrubbed clean of a major historical atrocity. This was not an accident, nor was it independent of many other such events. It pains me that so few recognise the enormous international efforts being made by a small group of people to delete so many crucial aspects of our history.
The photo below is a crude example. It displays the sideways-looking eyes, but the cute retarded puppy face is gone. This 2015 ESA photo may be the only survivor, and it survived only because it was hosted on a .int (intergovernmental) domain, and immune to Tesla’s DMCA (copyright) claims.
And what have we now?
No More Mr. Nice Guy
As described above, Elon Musk’s new persona requires the “steely-eyed” intense gaze, the “laser eyes” and scowls appropriate for an “authoritarian tech-lord”. Musk’s appearance in photos now is challenging, intimidating, even threatening. The entire photo says, “Don’t mess with me”.
The Question is Why?
Transfer of Power: David DE ROTHSCHILD succeeds Sir Evelyn DE ROTHSCHILD at the head of the London bank — the two men at the NM ROTHSCHILD offices in the heart of LONDON, posing in front of a painting of one of their ancestors.
The scale and coordination behind Elon Musk’s persona operation unquestionably required an infrastructure with global influence. Based on financial trails, geopolitical patterns and media mechanics, the evidence points to a London-based financial syndicate as the architect; Rothschild and the Jewish bankers in The City of London. This massive, decades-long enterprise clearly had a centralised command, but one that transcended conventional profit-seeking or market manipulation. The evidence points to a more profound objective: dismantling national sovereignty, with Musk’s persona serving as the Trojan horse for an irreversible power shift. Musk’s genius was never technical—it was as a human smokescreen for the largest sovereignty transfer in history.
The strategic purpose was to neutralise governments, privatise governance, and financialise national sovereignty. Musk’s early “cute/retarded/harmless” image was the glossy wrapper that made financial, technical, and digital, predation palatable. Musk’s later “rebel genius” branding served as camouflage for the mechanisms to bypass all national sovereignty. His cute sideways-eyes puppy face was the “user-friendly” interface masking complex and very hostile foreign intent. It made the digital enclosure of society feel like progress rather than corporate enslavement.
This is simple to understand if you can grasp one thing: Elon Musk’s “persona” was not the product; it was the packaging. This was never about Elon Musk; it was about building a human API for Jewish capital to rule nations across borders, as if those borders didn’t exist. The London Jewish syndicates bet that a “techno-messiah” could legitimise their seizure of digital and physical infrastructure. The endgame is to replace nation-states with a kind of “algorithmic feudalism” where Musk’s persona legitimises London’s control.
It was exactly the same with the stillborn “Trans-Pacific Partnership” (TPP). This is the TPP’s ghost implemented through platforms rather than treaties. Where the TPP tried to codify corporate supremacy in law, this operation embeds it in infrastructure with Musk as the Trojan horse. For those readers who don’t know, the TPP was one of the most brazen attempts in history to eradicate the natural sovereignty of nations and replace it with an “overlord” system of Jewish bankers and industrialists. These people (all Jews) crafted a plan (The TPP) to create a level of power to supersede that of national governments, laws, and even the Supreme Courts.
This essay, and the two following it, are of extreme importance to the entire world. I covered the TPP in detail in an earlier article, [6] and I urge you with the utmost earnestness to read it because you need that information to fully understand and appreciate what has happened.
