In the early 2020s, Jacobin defined libertarian authoritarians as those who believe in the abolition of the democratic state, on the basis of its restrictions on individual freedoms, and "consider the democratic state itself, the authorities and their regulations, to be invasive and harmful"

By Wikipedia's own definition, this is an incorrect characterization. musk's actions have been to audit and defund the Bureaucratic state of unelected officials, not a Democratic state.

"consider the democratic state itself, the authorities and their regulations, to be invasive and harmful"

I agree although for different reasons.

Abolition of the state would be anarchist. But these communist goblins would deny water is wet if they thought it would give them the tiniest advantage.

It is hilarious that the name of the goblin that wrote this is "jacobin", though.
