“Musk”: Alex Gibney on New Film, Legal Threats & Elon Musk Spending $366M to Help GOP in Midterms

Oct 13, 2026 | We speak with the Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney about his new documentary Musk, an expansive, nearly four-hour examination of the world’s first trillionaire and how he has amassed unprecedented power in business, technology and politics. The film traces Elon Musk’s early ventures and the rise of SpaceX and Tesla, examining the role of government support in their growth. It also explores his acquisition of Twitter, now X; his alliance with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement; and his role in the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, whose cuts devastated federal programs, including USAID.

Gibney says Musk has carefully crafted an image of a “polymath” who can solve the world’s most pressing problems, but that he is really “kind of a ruthless businessman” willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, including “a series of elaborate cons” to win government support for his companies.

Elon Musk accuse l'Ukraine de violer les conditions d'utilisation de Starlink

LE FIGARO : Kiev dépend de ce système de communication par satellites ainsi que de sa version de niveau militaire, Starshield, pour se défendre contre les attaques russes de missiles et de drones.

Le magnat américain de la tech, Elon Musk, patron de SpaceX, a accusé l'Ukraine d'avoir violé les conditions d'utilisation de Starlink, après plusieurs jours de bridage de sa vitesse sur fond de tensions avec Washington.

« Les conditions d'utilisation de Starlink sont restées cohérentes : il s'agit d'un système civil, et non d'un moyen de tuer. Toute violation de ces conditions entraînera la fin du service », a écrit M. Musk dans un message sur X samedi. Il a ajouté que Starlink restait « crucial pour la défense de l'Ukraine, car c'est le seul système qui ne peut pas être brouillé ou détruit, du moins pour l'instant. Si Starlink devait être désactivé, la ligne de front ukrainienne s'effondrerait immédiatement », a-t-il souligné dans un autre message. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | dimanche 25 octobre 2026

Trump, Musk, and the Starlink Betrayal That Could Shatter the NATO Alliance

Oct 23, 2026 | The global fallout continues after a bombshell report revealed that President Donald Trump secretly called SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to demand the lifting of severe speed and operational restrictions on Ukraine’s military-grade Starlink (Starshield) system. With Ukrainian forces relying heavily on the network to track incoming Russian ballistic missiles and guide defense operations, the sudden throttling—and subsequent phone call to restore speeds—has sparked immense diplomatic turmoil. Critics point to Elon Musk's far-right political leanings and his public denials on social media blaming the White House, while European allies openly question whose side America is truly on.

The Billionaires Have Enough Money to Buy Both Sides' — Interview with Gil Durán | DW News

Oct 21, 2026 | US Author Gil Durán warns that Silicon Valley “billionaires have enough money to buy both sides" in any US election. In his book „The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy,“ Durán pieces together public statements from powerful tech investors like Peter Thiel that amount to a chilling attack on democracy as we know it. Durán criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for refusing to take on the big money in tech.

Starshield Warfare: How Trump and Musk Left Ukraine Defenceless

Oct 16, 2026 | A sudden unilateral "energy ceasefire" announced on social media, technical sabotage on the frontline, and a shifting geopolitical alliance have left Washington outmanoeuvered by Moscow and an ally fighting in the dark.

When Donald Trump declared an immediate truce between Russia and Ukraine, he promised a masterclass in swift diplomacy. Instead, without direct coordination with either Volodymyr Zelenskyy or Vladimir Putin, the uncommunicated deal collapsed in hours as Russia launched a massive, record-breaking wave of over 850 Shahed combat drones and ballistic missiles against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

Rather than holding Moscow accountable, the White House turned its pressure on Kyiv—demanding leadership changes while the U.S. military severely restricted Ukraine’s access to SpaceX’s military-grade Starshield satellite network.

Musk Turns on Ukraine by Limiting Starlink

THE TELEGRAPH: Kyiv claims restrictions on critical communications devices were implemented without warning

Elon Musk has turned on Ukraine by imposing limits on his Starlink devices, Kyiv has claimed.

Advisers to Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that military missions had been scuppered after restrictions were implemented on the critical communications devices without warning.

Mr Musk’s SpaceX company imposed a 100mph “speed limit” on the Starshield military package of satellite devices, inhibiting Ukraine’s mid-range and long-range strikes, current and former officials said.

On Saturday, Mr Musk said “Zelensky has gone too far” in his strikes on Russian oil infrastructure.

Relations have deteriorated between Kyiv and Washington after Donald Trump agreed to waive sanctions on Russia to import diesel to ease fuel prices and called for Mr Zelensky to be ousted.

The US has also threatened to suspend intelligence-sharing to force Ukraine to stop its refinery strikes, while Mr Zelensky has claimed he stopped receiving warnings from allies about Russian missile attacks. » | Antonia Langford | Wednesday, October 14, 2026

Trump-Partei in Not: Mit hunderten Millionen will Elon Musk die US-Republikaner vor dem Wahldebakel retten

TAGESSPIEGEL: Trumps Republikanern droht bei den Zwischenwahlen ein Debakel. Der reichste Mann der Welt will das verhindern – und pumpt massig Geld in den Wahlkampf.

Elon Musk hat seit Anfang Juli rund 250 Millionen Euro an republikanische Wahlkampforganisationen überwiesen. Das berichtet die „New York Times“. Damit ist Musk der mit Abstand größte bislang bekannte Geldgeber im laufenden US-Zwischenwahlkampf. Zusätzlich soll Musk Geld an Organisationen gegeben haben, die ihre Spender nicht offenlegen müssen. Die öffentlich bekannten Beträge bilden demnach nicht die gesamte Summe ab.

Die Ausgaben verschaffen den Republikanern einen erheblichen finanziellen Vorteil, etwa für die Schaltung von Wahlwerbung. Einen Milliardär, der für die Demokraten annähernd so viel Geld ausgibt wie Musk, gibt es derzeit nicht. » | Von Jean Mikhail | Montag, 12. Oktober 2026

Democracy Now! "The Nerd Reich": Author Gil Durán on Big Tech Fascism, Peter Thiel, JD Vance & the War on Democracy

Aug 17, 2026 | A new book by longtime Bay Area journalist Gil Durán investigates “tech fascism” and its mounting influence on U.S. politics. The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy follows the rise of Vice President JD Vance, the former venture capitalist whose “outsider” campaign for Senate was bankrolled by the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Peter Thiel. Durán traces the ideological lineage of the current Trump administration back from Vance to Thiel and the far-right-wing monarchist Curtis Yarvin, whose “right-libertarian” political theory has long made the rounds among Silicon Valley elite. “These guys were never libertarians,” says Durán. “Now that they are the government, we see their true face: They’re fascists, and they’re authoritarians.”
