Think back to the Super Bowl and Elon sitting with Murdoch.
Musk has it all and seems well protected.
I’ve followed Murdoch for 40 years and he’s a bit more of a free spirit than you’d think.
Musk today is almost replicating the Murdoch of the 80s.
Murdoch has never been bought. No knighthood for an Aussie/ Brit. He controlled the press in the UK. The establishment tolerate him.He may be in his 90s but he has always been The Editor In Chief of all his publications.
Murdoch in the 80s , smashed union corruption, took newspaper printing out of the dark ages, went 24/7 with his news desk, introduced colour print, went tabloid over broadsheet.
Then he created SKY has had knowledge on Satellite broadcasting since day one.
He then went to the US and shook up the media system there. Always as an outsider.
The parallels and overlap of Musk and Murdoch stand out.

James Murdoch ( Ruperts son) has been on the Tesla Board for nearly a decade.
Wait, what's SKY? ...and could it potentially have an event?
TV news channel, often refreshingly and hilariously truthful.
and sports too
Interesting theory. I always get Murdoch and Packer mixed up.
Kerry Packer the Aussie who wanted to revolutionise Cricket in the 70s.
Shorter games, coloured strips, night games, a white ball even competitions.
“Good Lord “ cried the English Establishment🤣
Fast forward to 2023 and we have shorter games, coloured strips, night games, a white ball, 20/20 and even the women get to play.
