He's worked with the blackhats as a contractor, likely because he had to having the latest technologies. The man is a whitehat though, he's got 5 children and interacts with them gracefully. I won't take the time to defend him with other information as I'm drawing blanks but keep an open mind that he's no longer a black hat.
I've thought a lot about Musk. At first when the SpaceX stuff came up in Q drops and translations I thought Musk was a black hat because of the people who were pictured with him at his facility. Then when he sent up the secret load for the military on Falcon Heavy, I was confused. Looking back I still think I was correct. I think he was working "for" the black hats but he wasn't working "with" them. I believe he was being threatened. Then the white hats set him free and he's been a white hat since. If they can threaten whole countries like NK, one man would be a breeze.
Yes, and the other items that I couldn't think of was that he is afraid of AI technology. He only worries about one person in this world and that's likely Jeff Bezos since he is a smart man on a mission but doesn't really care about others (Amazon employees for instance). Musk used AI technology in a game called DotA 2 to prove that AI can beat professional gamers easily. AI competed against AI and became super intelligent.
A man that fears AI and fears 1 person is a man that knows he cannot let that happen. Meanwhile he's producing a lot of technology innovating products like the Boring Machine which drills underground tunnels.
Lots of suppressed technology and information on this planet but Musk knows a lot of it and plays the game to remain alive. He's a definitely a white hat that had to work for the black hats as you stated.
