Elon is a futurist. Everything good about him is motivated by that singular driving motivation, and so is everything bad about him. He hates woke because he (correctly) believes it stifles innovation and competition and thereby retards human progress. He hates government inefficiency and high taxes for the same reason. He likes the American way of doing things and he fought for free speech and the open marketplace of ideas because he (again, correctly) believes that approach to be the most conducive to technological innovation and progress. He wants skilled immigrants so he can enlist their talents in building his cybertopia.
To figure out what Elon's position will be on any given issue, all you have to ask is "Will this help us get to Mars?"
FUCK mars. Elon will singlehandedly ween me off my childhood space-wonder. I choose my history and race and culture and future over a game of "last one to mars is a rotten egg"
I want to own a plot of land that I can use to feed myself you son of a bitch. The american dream has transitioned from "a yard with a white picket fence" to "living free of the hostile influence of my own government". In fact I feel quite strongly that whatever team he's on should lose, because it's not my team.
Sometimes I wonder... did Tolkien know, when he wrote about the Ents, what he was writing?
He knew
