From CBC News.

You’ve heard of Elon Musk, but what about his Canadian grandfather? Did grandson model himself on the great man of family lore?
Joshua Haldeman’s authoritarian, top-down vision for a "perfect society" was so radical, the government arrested him for sedition. So he moved his family to a place more tolerant of his intolerance…. apartheid-era South Africa.
Decide for yourself: how familiar is Elon’s worldview?
Jacob Silverman is also the author of Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley, which was released in tandem with this podcast.
