Except not, because he's not even nationalistic. His sports team metaphor is more apt then he realizes because the metaphor ignores the elephant in the room, that most people who watch sports ignore. And which represents the absolute opposition of nationalism and globalism.

It's in two parts, 1. Is that h1bs is just trading players, every team is tied to the others, if there was only one team there would be would be no team, since there's nobody to play. That symbiotic requirements makes teams PARTNERS not opponents, players change hands, stadiums move, all for the goal of scorikg more points. But points don't feed the players, that's separate. The teams don't exist for the players, the players create for the leagues.

Second part, the teams aren't for themselves either. The named entities that people have loyalty and bonds with, like the patriots or the Bengals aren't the core, they're not why it exists.

They exist because of the acronyms. The NFL.

Now sub Players for Citizens, teams for Nations, and NFL for NWO and its pretty spot on.

Personally I reject that view of humanity, its reductive and turns human impulses into Matrix batteries for the Greater Good. But Elon believes in it. Of course he would, he's a technocrat and probablg a transhumanist.
