Piers Morgan: By Any Measure, Elon Musk Is a Real-Life Superhero

Piers Morgan: Elon Musk is a superhero.

“I think Elon actually might be a superhero. What you know is almost every business he starts, everyone condemns it to immediate failure. Everyone thinks it's destined to fail. It cannot be achieved.

It's always done on a massive grandiose scale with a massive grandiose plan. And he's delivered.

SpaceX is probably the most coveted company in the world right now by every other successful businessperson. And people said, it's never going to work. This is going to throw good money after bad.

Look at what SpaceX does around the world now. Look at the satellite systems, never mind anything else, they are just on a different level to anything we've seen.

He's even, I saw the other day, planning to help with the countryside issue in the UK, if you live in the countryside, you don't get a phone signal. He just thinks I'll fix Britain and this phone signal.

Then you look at 𝕏 and what he's done there, it's gone from 67% Democrat, 32% Republican on 𝕏 to now it's pretty well 50-50. He's redressed the balance.

He's made it easier for conservatives not to be deplatformed and removed just because of their political allegiance.

So, he's democratized this very undemocratic but massively popular, powerful social media tool.

I look at all the things he's been doing, and I think, actually, what's the common thread here? All of it is a force for good.

All of it is ultimately designed to save us from ourselves. If you look at it, what is a superhero?

A superhero is somebody who thinks on a massively big scale for the good of the people and often saves the people from themselves.

I'm not saying he's a perfect human being. He can be difficult and all the rest of it. Of course he can. And he wouldn't say he's perfect himself.

But by a superhero criteria right now in the world, who is a bigger transformative superhero right now than Elon Musk? Who? Give me a name.”
