Is Elon Musk's Real Job Smuggling?

The provocative question at the heart of Seth Abramson's new post

In retrospect it seems obvious that Elon would have been undone when we poked around a bit in his past. You’re not supposed to notice that rockstars have families—and pasts.

And so it seems when you read Seth Abramson’s great new piece about Elon Musk’s migration status. Reading it, it seems clear that Musk’s North American start was financed by his father’s emerald mine and through illegal gem smuggling, likely in New York.

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk’s Many Years As An Illegal Immigrant

If you’re paying attention you might have noticed that life got a lot harder for Elon after President Joe Biden signed an executive order on transnational organized crime, which it seems upon further inspection is what the family business actually was.

Biden’s shutting down of the diamond trade exemptions for money laundering is a key part of this sort of thing. So, too, the efforts to control the supply chain for critical rare earths and minerals.

Elon is a smuggler — of ideas, of immigrants, of goods — and as the U.S. deep state starts to take supply chain questions more seriously his future is diminished.

Anyway I commend Abramson’s deep dive to your attention. Abramson’s piece suggests the possibility that Musk and his father Errol are actually way closer than conventional assessment by Musk’s hagiographic biographers like fellow South African Ashlee Vance and Walter Isaacson. There’s plenty of evidence to suggest that the two men are, in fact, business partners and that a key part of the whole business is creating the image of Elon.

If you criticize Elon’s image he will come for you and blacklist you as he did to me when his lieutenants Steve Oskoui and Luke Nosek of GigaFund did.

I myself have had occasion to chat with Errol Musk who I find to be a thoroughly refreshing and honest man, in the way that South African white men of a certain generation often are. They’ve seen things and sure enough the elder Musk is not exempt. I don’t really buy the tough childhood narrative cooked up by Musk and seasoned by Isaacson, who didn’t even chat with Robert Friedland about Steve Jobs. (Friedland owned the farm on which Jobs operated.)

The organized crime Musk matter is not a small one and it’s something that I’m proud to say I had something to do with exposing, especially the stock fraud with the self-driving stuff by Likud asset Lex Fridman and Russian Jewish poker player Igor Kurganov. No, they can’t take that away from me!

There have been efforts historically by players around the US government to run their own ops around Elon’s companies — former counterintelligence head of CIA Karl Wagner was once on the Elon payroll — but these have seemingly failed as Elon has gotten deeper into the drug world. You’ll notice that a lot of deep staters have a background in shaking down old Oleg Deripaska, who apparently was a favorite of Moscow Mitch and whose aluminum was a key part of Tesla’s frames. But these efforts seem to have failed too. It’s even been suggested that the network around Deripaska was involved in killing Angela Chao in — where else? — her Tesla. Shortly thereafter McConnell announced his retirement.

Are we really not supposed to notice his brother Kimball and his travels to known cartel hang out spots in Mexico? I raised this very issue some time ago when I pointed out the matter of the private planes flying in known drug trafficking routes. This is, in fact, how a lot of this sort of thing happens and why you see such permissive attitudes on the part of some of the billionaires you get the sense that they might also be marketing for the drug world, too.

In a future piece we’ll turn to what should be done to build a 21st century economy which uses these critical minerals for their highest uses.
