Errol Musk (Elon's Dad) in Moscow For "Forum of The Future 2050" Conference
Sanctioned Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev, a sponsor of the conference, with Errol Musk at Moscow's Forum Of The Future 2050
The "Forum of The Future 2050" Conference was sponsored June 9 -10, 2025 in Moscow by sanctioned Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev's Tsargrad Institute and its director, Russian fascist ideologue Aleksandr Dugin (known as "Putin's Rasputin" and "Putin's Brain") to promote a pro-Putin worldview. It featured speeches by Errol Musk (Elon's father), Sergei Lavrov (Putin's Minister of Foreign Affairs), Alex Jones, Jeffrey Sachs, George Galloway, Max Blumenthal (son of Clinton advisor and Guardian columnist Sidney Blumenthal), Jackson Hinkle, and many others. Among them were the leading Putin apologists, including sanctioned insiders and war criminals; those accused of conspiring to kidnap Ukrainian children for "adoption' in Russia, the very architects of some of the most brutal war atrocities in Ukraine, which rate among the worst episodes of violence against civilians in Europe since the Nazi era.
Here's an article from The Guardian on the forum:
Here's the website of the conference:
Were Errol Musk and the others paid for their appearances at the conference? Do they have any business interests in Russia? Errol Musk apparently agrees with Putin on Ukraine, Crimea, and several other topics, stating even that "his entire family" is "in awe" of Putin.
We should find it very alarming that the father of the world's richest man (who, until their recent break, spent nearly every waking moment with Donald Trump since the campaign and especially since Trump re-assumed office on January 20, 2025) should be attending a pro-Putin forum in Moscow. Could Errol Musk and the others adopt pro-Putin talking points and come to influence Trump, Elon Musk, the media, and the American public in general?
The isolation of international sanctions has forced Russia to seek friends where they can find them. Russia likes to promote these international meetings to promote "multi-polarity" and oppose "globalism", which in practice mean a world where the U.S. does not dominate but that each "superpower" - The West (The U.S. and Europe), Russia, China, and according to Dugin, India, has their own "sphere of influence", acknowledged as their de facto colonies, to be untouched by the others. Russia could take over Ukraine, China could take over Taiwan, and the West could continue to dominate Latin America and The Caribbean in general while dream of militarily invading Canada, Panama, and Greenland. Africa and Asia would be up for grabs. May the best autocratic grifter win!
In their wildest dreams, these Russian autocrats dream of forming a coalition with far-right groups around the world, along with elements of the confused "horseshoe" authoritarian left (to form a Red/Brown alliance) to fight the "woke" globalists (which always sounds like code for "Jews"), LGBTQ, feminists, immigrants, minorities, and activists.
The basic premise of the Red/Brown (Left/Right) Coalition is that neo-liberalism is worse than fascism. It first originated in Moscow just after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Dissatisfied former Communists (Red) united with nationalist far-right (Brown) groups to oppose the emerging centrist neo-liberal free trade consensus.
Western media mostly ignored Forum Of The Future 2050 , but Errol Musk's comments when he arrived in Moscow a few days early on June 7 that Elon made a "mistake" going up against Trump and starting their "feud" got some coverage.
In that interview and others in recent weeks, Errol Musk echoed many Putin talking points about Ukraine including the false conspiracy theory stating that Ukraine has a series of 27 experimental "biolabs" near the Russian border, used to justify Russian intervention in the region.
I was able to watch some of the forum live-streamed online.
Dugin, one of the organizers of the forum, spoke at length, calling AI an "Anti-Christ abyss", and the role of The State is to keeps the time of Satan from coming, fighting chaos and disorder, and preventing the coming of The Anti-Christ. He spoke of "the end of the world, and that is near...", of "states crumble into lawlessness... then the second coming (of Christ)..."
He spoke of the emergence of the bourgeois, an elite who inserts themselves into the role of "Third Estate", in place of the common people, the will of the people. Are described them as "secular, cowardly, not warriors, lazy... they didn't want to plant seeds or build a huge peasant world, a stratum of in-betweens. According o Dugin, Liberalism, the bourgeois, urban bankers, and traders, morphed into Communism, proletariat peasants were taken off land and "inserted" into cities. The French Revolutionary slogan of liberte, equalite, fraternity - split the world, Dugin argued, into "brothers and non-brothers" and created xenophobia.
Errol Musk began by evoking forum spnosor Konstantin Malofeyev of the need to "increase the numbers of people, and increase the 'living space' for people", sounding like Hitler. Errol Musk, like his son Elon, believes that wealthy intelligent white men aren't having enough babies and should have more. Errol bragged of being 80 (and hoping he didn't look 80) and having two small children, 6 and 8 years old, whose mother is Errol Musk's step-daughter (the daughter of his second ex-wife). Errol Musk, we were told, was a Liberal who was opposed to apartheid, but made several casually racist and eugenicist statements. He maintained that he was not a racist but that the family was his ex-wife, Maye Musk (Elon's mother) was explicitly racist, especially Maye's father, Joshua Haldeman, who moved from Canada to South Africa specifically because of South Africa's racist policies.
Joshua Haldeman and family. Maye Musk (Elon's mother) is front row, far right.
In his Forum speech, Errol Musk spoke of the challenges of defeating gravity and talked at length about rockets and space travel, repeatedly mentioning SpaceX, notably using "us" and "we" (and even stating "I was with Elon..." at a recent rocket launch) despite Elon Musk's disparagement of his father in the press:
In 2017, Elon was the subject of a Rolling Stone cover story by the writer Neil Strauss. This time, his rage toward Errol was made clear.
“He was such a terrible human being,” Mr. Musk told Mr. Strauss. “My dad will have a carefully thought-out plan of evil. He will plan evil.”
He added: “Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done. Almost every evil thing you could possibly think of, he has done.”
Mr. Strauss described tears streaming down Elon’s face as he said this...
Speaking from Dubai on Friday, Errol said the real reason Elon had called him evil in 2017 was because of political differences between them.
“At that time, he supported the Democrats,” Errol said. “At the time, he was mixing with the wrong people.”
"Do Elon Musk and His Father Get Along?" by Jacob Bernstein, New York Times (February 21, 2025).
There were speakers from several countries, including India, all of whom repeated the theme of a "return to tradition" meaning faith-based society and a rejection of modern notions of feminism and LGBTQ visibility and acceptance.
Jackson Hinkle greeted the crowd in Russian, stating he was trying to improve his Russian, bringing to mind that he has visited Russia several times over the past 3 years and made a number of videos on the ground supporting Russia's invasion of neighboring Ukraine. He spoke of Unelected Mafia Globalist Finance Capital, comparing them to the titular Mafia family on HBO's "The Sopranos". It was a "War against the Globalist Creditor Class", he claimed, then added, "Elon's life is in danger.", presumably for taking on the Globalists. Hinkle said the U.S. needed to reclaim its sovereignty by, for example, leaving NATO (another Putin dream). Unless Trump can change the Constitution and run a third time, Hinkle speculated that the next candidate could be Trump's kids, Elon Musk, or "The Dark Side", Peter Thiel, Palantir, Silicon Valley... where "most are homosexuals", that "adopt young boys", and who desire an oppressive surveillance state.Hinkle claimed that Peter Thiel was pressuring Musk to surveill L.A. protesters. Hinkle stated he was no fan of the protesters but didn't want to see another Patriot Act emerge. Just a few years ago, Hinkle was a liberal environmentalist. Now he's a Trump supporter and a "MAGA Communist", who supports Russian domination of Ukraine, while condemning Israel and supporting the Palestinians.
Several speakers took great pains to keep their commentary current.
Dugin claimed the recent L.A. riots were a "staged color revolution" to make Trump look bad. Before Trump, he said, the U.S. was "Satanic" and "evil". (It is quite telling that "color revolutions", which most modern people would view as positive, have become, in the eyes of the far-right and their confused authoritarian left allies, very negative - false flags; astroturfed movements nefariously planted by The Deep State.
Dugin, who they referred to as "professor" certainly wants to give the impression he is an intellectual who has carefully studied history and literature and analyzed them to come to the conclusions he is presenting us. They say Dugin, Malofeyev and their ilk are "far-right" and they hit several of the fascist check boxes, but in addition to fascist, they appear to be actually monarchists, and traditionalists tried to the Russian Orthodox Church. I suppose whether people like Trump or Putin are called "President", "Prime Minister", "CEO", "Czar", "King", or "Emperor" is irrelevant if they are all-powerful and in complete control.
But it's one thing to say your political enemies are "bad people" or even say they are metaphorically "Satanic", but it's quite another thing to actually believe your enemies are actually evil and in league with supernatural beings against the rest of us. This is not the serious thought of an adult intellectual. But it does appear that Dugin and Malofeyev do believe their battle is an epic one between 'Good" and "Evil" and they are on the "Good" side. Igor Lopatonok is similar. He is the pro-Putin Ukrainian producing partner of Oliver Stone.
Igor Lopatonok
Lopatonok and Stone have worked on three pro-Putin/anti-Ukraine films which maintain that the 2014 Maidan uprising was a "CIA coup" as opposed to what it actually was - a people's revolution against a corrupt pro-Putin stooge. They encourage sympathy for pro-Russian forces in Ukraine's Donbas and justify Russian imperialism in Ukraine by claiming all Ukrainians are "Nazis", for example, in every way echoing Moscow's talking points on Ukraine.
You would expect people like this to be secular and agnostic. It is a little surprising they believe so strongly in their Christian Orthodox faith, and it seems incongruous in the modern context to insist your political enemies are actually evil and Satanic rather than simply wrong, and that these "Satanic" claims are not metaphorical but are in fact literal. I would imagine that this type of magical thinking disqualifies them in many eyes from being taken seriously. Talk of the devil and Satan at this point should be limited to children and the mentally feeble, not people wanting to taken seriously by adults a fellow adults with something legitimate to convey.



We should be concerned when Errol Musk, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump echo Putin talking points, disinformation, and propaganda.
Max Blumenthal is said to be "on the left". Tucker Carlson is said to be "on the right". Yet they are friends. They socialize together. They promote each other. They are on the same team.
It is amazing how the same people tend to show up, some of them alleged "opposites", but still promoting each other on their platforms: Dugin, David Duke, Max Blumenthal, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Jackson Hinkle, Jimmy Dore, Aaron Mate, Glenn Greenwald, Cynthia McKinney, Jill Stein, Dennis Kucinich, Scott Ritter...
They told us that Julian Assange and Edward Snowden were "leftist heroes" exposing Western crimes. So why do Putin, Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and every right-winger under the sun support and defend Assange and Snowden?
Some horrible right-wingers like Candace Owens and Jackson Hinkle are fooling leftists into listening to them by bashing Israel and supporting Palestinian rights, sometimes uncritically.
They are indeed "Trojan horses", anxious to form a Red/Brown horseshoe alliance of left/right extremists against the moderates in the center.
Gaza is becoming the gateway drug for leftists to enter an unholy alliance with the far-right. Anti-semites on the far-left and far-right can unite in their anti-Israeli extremism.
Western people who oppose The West are often accused of being paid agents of foreign rival powers, or of at least advancing the foreign rival's agenda through ignorance or malice. This year, Elon Musk alleged that Tesla Takedown protesters were "paid", and Trump claimed the L.A. rioters in June 2025 were "professional agitators". Mostly, these accusations are nonsense. But the fact remains that the governments of the U.S., U.K., France, Russia, China, Iran, Israel, and others have very active spy programs in various countries, and sometimes they do give money and advice to opposition groups of their rivals. Sometimes the opposition groups are aware of the origin of their funding and other times less so.
Alexander Ionov
In 2016, Alexander Ionov of the "Anti-Globalist Movement of Russia" organized a "Dialog of Nations" in Moscow, inviting Catalan, California, and Texas separatists. Ionov, believed to work with Russia's spy agency, the FSB, has attempted to influence activists in Germany and the U.S., including The African People's Socialist Party (APSP - popularly known as "Uhuru House" - four of whom were indicted for not registering as foreign agents - they got off with a wrist slap).

Uhuru House accepted funds several times from Ionov, as well as direction in local campaigns in St. Petersburg, Florida and a petition to the UN for African-American reparations. Uhuru House also declared that they supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine and opposed Western aid to Ukraine. A position which Russia shared.
Internal communications between Uhuru House activists revealed they assumed that Ionov was working with the Russian government. When they asked him directly, he gave a vague, dismissive answer. Uhuru House had previously requested that if Yeshitela were to go to Russia, that he would meet a Russian government official, and they acknowledged that Uhuru House shared many stargetic interests with the government of Russia including support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, opposition to Western goals, and Russia's legacy of support for liberation movements in the developing world.
Engaging online with Uhuru House supporters was interesting. Some admitted that the Uhuru House accepted money from Ionov, others denied it. Some admitted they knew or suspected the money was from the FSB, others denied their knew or should have known the origin of the money. Several thought it was ok that Uhuru House agreed with the Russian government and accepted funding and advice from them. A few argued Russian talking points that Russia was never involved in the Atlantic slave trade and had never been colonialist. Russia is of course not an Atlantic country, but the system of fiefs and serfdom that dominated Russia for centuries was in many ways akin to the slavery. And Russia has had colonies and acted imperialistically since the 1600s.

Other such conferences have been attended by such luminaries as Scott Ritter and Cynthia McKinney.

Scott Ritter was forced to pull out of this event due to his sex crime conviction.

Dugin is a nut.
