Elon's Spies

This episode explores Elon Musk's alleged use of private investigators and surveillance, focusing on its ethical and legal implications. Against the backdrop of the investigation into Oliver Lewis, a man with fabricated credentials who had a relationship with Tallulah Riley (Elon Musk's ex-wife), the podcast reveals how Musk's actions extended beyond mere curiosity. More significantly, the investigation into Vernon Unsworth, a British caver instrumental in rescuing a Thai youth soccer team, highlights Musk's aggressive pursuit of discrediting Unsworth after a public disagreement. For instance, Musk's use of a fraudulent private investigator, James Howard Higgins, to gather potentially illegal information about Unsworth, underscores the lengths to which Musk was willing to go. The discussion pivots to the broader implications of Musk's actions, considering his immense power and influence, particularly in relation to his ownership of Twitter. This raises concerns about the potential misuse of surveillance and information gathering by powerful individuals, and what this means for the future of free speech and accountability in the digital age.
