Musk thinks he's saving the world.

As if capitalists never go bankrupt in their capitalizing.

Of course but you pointed out that Twitter is a terrible business model to begin with. His motivations are clearly something more than just capitalising. Like you said just now, he probably thinks he is saving the world… The “twitter files” thing would seem to support this conclusion.

Most capitalists believe their capitalism is saving the world.

I said he is capitalizing in response to him turning right-wing. He said himself he did so because democrats support unions. He doesn't think too far beyond what suits his businesses. Typical stage Orange mind.

Twitter became an extra-terrible biz when Musk saddled it with $1B/year in interest payments alone.

Elon Musk is such a freak of nature. I think what makes him so successful is that he protected his inner child to old age. He is basically a curious, rebellious brad in a body of an old man. His energy is so distinct and rare.

That’s true. I’d drawn a false distinction between being a political idealist and a pragmatic capitalist… If you are right about his motivations, Musk has the pleasure of having his cake and eating it!

@StarStruck Don't go too far with your fantasies. Musk is not pure by any means, he will work like a mule if he needed to. Bill Gates for example is a much more mature person than Musk. But people like Musk because he is more social and funnier.

Immature people like immature people.

Nothing new here.

If working like a mule would get you far every mule would be a CEO

I meant he would work you to death if he could. Musk is not that loving, he is just a bit funny and relaxed.

I'm not saying he is loving: I didn't even use those words. I'm saying he is immature as a child. We are saying the same thing lol.

He is very loving. His way of loving you is working you to death, where you will meet God

Musk may be a clown but there is more to this than just “capitalism in decay”, the typical Marxist framing of right-wing populism. Twitter hasn’t just been censoring crude bigotry and conspiracy theories, it has been imposing an agenda. It is a classic case of what Spengler would call civilisation against culture: an extremely cosmopolitan elite imposing their beliefs on everybody else. Spengler showed that, whenever this happens, the next step is Caesarism.

Of course, most of you won’t care about this because this is also your agenda… The accursed “survival” strikes again! I just wish that you would stop pretending to care about the majority consensus and the sacred cow of “democracy”. It’s easy to value the “consensus” when it has been manufactured so as to represent what you, as smug cosmopolitan liberals, think that it should be!

Stage Green people run social media companies. Which is far superior to stage Blue or Orange running them. But Blue and Orange feel this is wrong. Musk is imposing Orange and soon he will learn that Green was better.

That's what all this boils down to.
