Elon Musk’s quest to make men great again

Livemint · 7m

Elon Musk has recently been embracing a tough-guy image and promoting a form of masculinity that idolizes power, success, and conquest. He has made controversial comments and jokes that have offended many, especially women. Musk's endorsement of former President Donald Trump and his admiration for strong-man leaders like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán demonstrate his affinity for tough leadership. However, he also has limits to his fondness for strong men, as he engaged in a Twitter spat with Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Musk's public persona aligns with a political undercurrent in the United States that sees a divide between young men and women on different sides of the political spectrum. Despite facing criticism, Musk remains committed to his vision of masculinity.
