Chapter 5 Beyond Interests, The Pyramid of Power Hidden Within

From the perspective of heroic historiography, every era has its protagonists, which has little to do with whether an era is good or bad.

Limited resources, stagnant development, intense contradictions—none of these disruptors matter to some people.

If there are Observers in this world, then, without a doubt, Musk is that most favored child.

He is the best embodiment of the American Dream in the twenty-first century. Born in South Africa, Musk lost his father at a young age and came from a family with no clout, but he managed to sell the company he co-founded during the internet boom of the late twentieth century, achieving financial freedom early on.

Later, he built rockets and cars, and even bought one of the world's largest social media platforms. Musk's experiences are so legendary, and the persona he presents is so newsworthy.

It can be said that every American knows his name—from this point of view, his chances of becoming the Great Commander are higher than Cheng Daqi's.
