The Unknown Podcast – Episode 21: Elon Musk’s Global Influence, Doxing Controversy, and Legal Warfare
In this explosive 21st episode of The Unknown Podcast, hosts Michael Volpe and Richard Luthmann dive into some of the most pressing and underreported stories of the moment. From Elon Musk’s increasing political influence to doxing and cancel culture, this episode is filled with sharp analysis, investigative journalism, and no-holds-barred commentary.

Elon Musk: The Populist Oligarch Reshaping Global Politics
The episode opens with Michael Volpe declaring that Elon Musk continues to dominate the news cycle. Volpe describes Musk as "the populist oligarch", a one-of-a-kind entrepreneur who is breaking political and corporate norms.

Unlike business moguls before him—such as Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, or Steve Jobs—Musk is actively shaping global political movements. He’s forging relationships with world leaders like Argentina’s Javier Milei and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, while also influencing elections across Europe and the U.S.

Musk’s Influence on Immigration Policy
One of Musk’s biggest recent moves is his support for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), Germany’s hardline nationalist party. The party is staunchly anti-immigration, and Musk’s backing has raised eyebrows worldwide. Volpe points out that Musk is scheduled to interview AfD leadership on Twitter Spaces, a move that could drastically affect Germany’s upcoming elections.

Luthmann backs Musk’s populist strategy, referencing Ronald Reagan, who famously said, “If someone agrees with you 80% of the time, they’re your friend, not your enemy.” He argues that Musk is building a broad international movement, similar to Trump’s 2016 campaign, where figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and other political outsiders find common ground.

UK Grooming Gangs: Musk Forces the Media to Pay Attention
Musk has also taken aim at one of the UK’s biggest scandals—the Pakistani grooming gangs. This crisis, where authorities allowed the systematic sexual abuse of thousands of young girls, has been largely ignored by mainstream media.

Volpe highlights the story of Sammy Woodhouse, a survivor who exposed police and social workers actively enabling her abuser. Social services placed her in foster care but allowed her rapist to vacation with her, showing just how deep the corruption ran.

Musk’s intervention forced British media to finally confront the issue, leading to renewed public outrage. While some praise him for exposing the failures of multiculturalism, Volpe warns that Musk must be careful—aligning with political movements without fully understanding their ideology could backfire.

Doxing and Cancel Culture: The Danesh Noshirvan Controversy
The conversation shifts to Danesh Noshirvan, a controversial social media figure who specializes in doxing people. His tactics have included:

Exposing Supreme Court Justices’ home addresses after the Dobbs decision
Targeting individuals for minor or alleged infractions, leading to harassment campaigns
Amplifying outrage using AI-driven bot accounts
Destroying the reputations of private citizens, some of whom later committed suicide
One of the most disturbing cases involved a Texas teacher who took his own life after being relentlessly doxed by Noshirvan.

The Legal War Against Noshirvan
Luthmann, who has been investigating Noshirvan’s operations, has himself become a target. He reveals that Noshirvan’s lawyer, Nick Chiappetta, issued a subpoena against him in federal court, a move Luthmann calls a direct attack on press freedom.

Volpe criticizes the weaponization of legal threats against journalists, citing how Julie Holburn faced similar harassment while reporting on family court corruption. He argues that these tactics are designed to silence independent investigative journalism.

Luthmann goes even further, accusing Noshirvan of being funded by foreign political operatives, including George Soros-backed groups and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He warns that social media manipulation and cancel culture are being used as political weapons.

Elon Musk Breaks the Business Playbook
Volpe points out that business moguls traditionally avoid political controversy, referencing Michael Jordan’s famous quote, “Republicans buy sneakers too.” Yet Musk has thrown caution to the wind, openly endorsing Trump, denouncing illegal immigration, and taking on controversial political issues.

Despite this, Musk’s companies remain largely unaffected. Tesla’s stock may have dipped briefly, but it rebounded quickly. Luthmann argues that Musk’s ability to survive political controversy sets him apart from historical tycoons, marking a new era in capitalism where billionaires can also be political influencers.

Child Support Injustice: The Dark Side of Family Court
The episode shifts gears to discuss the corruption in family courts, particularly how child support laws are weaponized against fathers.

Volpe recounts the tragic case of Chris Mackney, a father who was jailed repeatedly for child support debts that he had no way of paying. Despite his income dropping to zero, the courts never adjusted his payments. Eventually, after being harassed and thrown in jail multiple times, he committed suicide.

Luthmann highlights another shocking case: Regina Cioffi, a judge who jailed a man for owing $248,000 in back child support, despite everyone agreeing that he had no job and no means to pay. He argues that these rulings aren’t about justice—they’re about extorting wealthy family members to cover the debt.

Both hosts emphasize that the family court system is deeply flawed, often setting up parents to fail.

Luthmann’s Legal Battle Against Corrupt Politicians
Luthmann shares details about his lawsuit against New York political figures, including Judge Ron Castorina and City Councilwoman Kamillah Hanks.

According to Luthmann, these politicians failed to pay him tens of thousands of dollars for legal and consulting work. He describes how they used his legal troubles as an excuse to avoid paying their debts, calling it political backstabbing.

Adding insult to injury, Castorina’s defense argues that Luthmann has no right to sue because the campaign committee that owed him money has since been dissolved. Luthmann mocks this legal loophole, likening it to The Princess Bride’s “mostly dead” defense.

The Rise of AI-Driven Cancel Culture
The episode closes with an eye-opening discussion on how AI and social media bots are fueling cancel culture.

Luthmann reveals that Noshirvan’s harassment campaigns are powered by AI, using bot-driven engagement to exaggerate outrage and manipulate public perception. Volpe warns that AI-driven mob justice is a real threat, and those who weaponize it should be held criminally responsible.

Final Thoughts
Volpe and Luthmann leave listeners with a stark warning: Elon Musk is reshaping global influence, but the rise of AI-driven cancel culture is just as powerful. The future of journalism, politics, and free speech depends on how society responds to these challenges.
