What’s Driving Elon Musk?

Elon Musk has given around $450 million to Republican campaigns ahead of the midterms, making him the single largest donor in any election cycle, though that sum is a tiny fraction of his wealth. With control over SpaceX, Starlink, X, Tesla, and Neuralink, Musk wields power across wealth, attention, and critical infrastructure that few have ever amassed. Ezra Klein speaks with Quinn Slobodian, co-author of 'Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed,' about what Musk might be trying to buy with his spending, what ideology or vision drives him, and the world he wants to build.
