Musketeers: Welcome to the global Elon Musk fan network

Worldwide and obsessive fandom is nothing new, but it’s usually reserved for pop stars, actors, YouTubers, and video games.

It’s rare for tech CEOs to command such loyalty, but Elon Musk’s journey from sickly, bullied child to stumbling entrepreneur to rocket-launching world changer is a story that’s impossible to ignore.

Musk has engendered a global community of superfans who hang on his every word—and who will defend him at any cost.

This week on 2 Girls 1 Podcast, Alli and Jen (actors who perform weird internet stuff on stage) chat with Paula Mellon, the creator of a massive Musk fan club on LinkedIn, about the appeal of Musk and why his fans are so obsessed.
