 The convictions of Elon Musk’s grandfather:

“An ‘Invisible Government,’ working to carry out the objectives of the International Conspiracy, is operating in every country,” he wrote in his book The International Conspiracy in Health, which was published in the mid-1960s. In it, he also said the conspiracy was pushing for the fluoridation of water supplies, mandatory milk pasteurization and mass vaccination programs.

Oh, it doesn't end there, does it?

Haldeman thought government was being badly mismanaged and at one point in his career, he embraced the solution proposed by a movement called Technocracy: that government should be run by scientists and engineers, not politicians.

Over his lifetime, Haldeman would lead two Canadian political parties (one of which he founded), campaign against Canadian prime ministers William Lyon Mackenzie King and John Diefenbaker, write a book defending South Africa’s system of apartheid and spend years flying and driving across the African wilderness with his family — hunting for the Lost City of the Kalahari.

I have to add one more thing:

Kevin Anderson, a historian at the University of Calgary who has studied the conspiratorial thinking that emerged during the 1930s and '40s, told CBC there are stunning echoes between that time and today.

He said if he were to read a list of Haldeman’s beliefs in one of his classes today and ask, “When do you think this was written? I bet the more aware students would say, ‘Oh, two years ago — this year.’”

The more things change….

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter.

People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government.

And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people! pic.twitter.com/8umoMtdvwj
