This "article" is pretty much regurgitating a fairly brief part of a much longer New Yorker article: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-sha...

I'd suggest reading the New Yorker article instead. There was a discussion on it, but most of the comments were flagged to death, so I'm not gonna link it.

Other bold claims include Musk personally talking to Putin and intervening in Ukraine's counter-offensive via Starlink, NASA officials saying he's basically treated as an unelected official, Sam Altman claiming he "wants the world to be saved, but only if he can be the one to save it" etc.
