Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), has once again stunned the public by revealing even more disturbing insights about the future of technology, artificial intelligence, and global information control.

In a recent interview and a series of posts on X, Musk not only reiterated his concerns about the existential risks posed by superintelligent AI, but also raised the alarm about how governments and powerful tech corporations are using emerging technologies to manipulate public opinion and control access to information. “AI won’t just surpass humans in intelligence — it could be used to dominate every aspect of our lives,” Musk warned. “We are walking a very dangerous path.”

One of the most alarming claims Musk made is that several major tech companies — once trusted by the public — are quietly collaborating with governments to harvest personal data, monitor behavior, and shape people’s thoughts through algorithms and artificial intelligence. “They don’t need to censor openly anymore,” Musk said. “Now they just change what you see online, and you’ll believe it’s the truth.”

Musk also voiced grave concerns about the unchecked development of AI in military applications, calling it a potential “global catastrophe” if not properly regulated. “If we don’t set strict boundaries for AI now, it could become the very thing that destroys humanity,” he stated.

While Elon Musk is no stranger to controversy, many believe his warnings — even if sometimes extreme — are grounded in real trends and should be taken seriously. As the world becomes increasingly dependent on technology, voices like Musk’s play a critical role in sparking global conversations about ethics, transparency, and privacy in the digital age.
