Malcom X and Elijah Muhammad

From my point of view I think Malcolm X was obsessed with Elijah Muhammad because Malcolm wanted to be like him or maybe better than him, since for Malcolm, Elijah was like a figure to follow, like a leader, a man who erected the idea that Blacks would never be treated the same way. Malcolm X also wanted to spread the voice of the Nation everywhere and for more people to join the Nation, besides Malcolm knew that he was capable of achieving anything since Malcolm was an intellectual person, he had a questionable language, and also the he had impeccable logic for the debate, which benefited him greatly.
