The scent of Musk: Power, charisma and paranoia in Silicon Valley

47 min•19 december 2025

We dive into the cultural economies of the tech bros, from Peter Thiel to Elon Musk. Hosts Dr. Addie McGowan and Professor Philip Roscoe welcome Dr. Carla Ibled and Dr. Dominik Zelinski to talk about their popular Journal of Cultural Economy articles. Carla explores the founder as hero and victim, drawing on Freud and Lacan to reveal Silicon Valley’s messianic fantasies. Dominik examines Musk’s charismatic leadership through Weber’s lens, tracing Dogecoin hype, online ethnography, and the tension between charisma and routine. Together, they ask: what do these tech myths mean for our political and economic futures?
