Most people know Elon Musk as Tesla's CEO and major shareholder.
The electric car manufacturer has made the 51-year-old the richest businessman in the world.
He recently used his wealth to expand his political power: his company SpaceX supplies satellites that now play an important role for the US armed forces and are essential for communication within the Ukrainian armed forces in the war against Russia.
After buying Twitter, he rules over what is probably the most influential communication platform of our time.
At the same time, Musk increasingly sympathizes with conspiracy theories and autocratic regimes, and rigorously removes critical spirits from his environment.
In an interview with editor-in-chief Sven Clausen, manager-magazin tech reporter Jonas Rest explains why this can pose a threat to the global community, what drives Elon Musk and who could stop him.
