Elon Musk Linked to World Economic Forum?


Elon Musk has previously stated that he declined an invitation to the World Economic Forum.

Musk’s response was to a tweet linking to an archived 2008 Bloomberg article that cites him as a WEF Young Global Leader.

Elon Musk, the chairman of Tesla Motors, the much-publicized electric sports-car company, is a new YGL.

“My reason for declining the Davos invitation was not because I thought they were engaged in diabolical scheming, but because it sounded boring af lol,” Musk elaborated.

 

Musk has openly criticized the elitist Davos conference and reportedly hasn’t been invited to attend since 2015.

Musk, a vocal critic of the conference who was the world’s richest person until December, recently said he was invited to the conference but chose to skip it. The organizers of the WEF, however, beg to differ: They say the Twitter CEO hasn’t been invited in nearly a decade.

WEF spokesperson Yann Zopf told the Associated Press on Tuesday that the last time Musk was invited was “not this year and not recently — last time in 2015.” Musk never registered or attended on the handful of occasions he was invited to the conference in the 2010s, Zopf told the AP.

“How is WEF/Davos even a thing? Are they trying to be the boss of Earth!?” Musk wrote in another tweet.

“WEF is increasingly becoming an unelected world government that the people never asked for and don’t want,” Musk said.

Despite Musk’s legitimate criticisms of the globalist sociopaths, this writer has a question for him.

Why is Elon Musk’s brother, who sits on the board of multiple companies owned by him, listed as a World Economic Forum agenda contributor?

New Twitter CEO Follows The Same People You Probably Do?

I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter! @LindaYacc will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology,” Musk said.

“Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.”
