I agree, but would replace specific category of celebrities with mass media in general.
There's no substitute for the low ping times of modern hardware in LEO. Elon is evil. But he's not stupid. As a user myself I think Starlink is a fantastic product, though in a physical package designed by a teenager.
If he'd not fucked around with Twitter he'd have been strongly positioned on either end of the communications industry, positioned to be even more powerful than he is. But, he's gone for a shorter term play at an-cap fascism.
A perception of justice is prerequisite to a human life of dignity. When society's systems of accountability are broken humans find another way. Sometimes a young man nearly assassinates an ex-President. Sometimes no one cares until researching for the history books.
Have faith. One way or another we'll get the bastard. Or, maybe we'll get lucky: He'll take some more psychedelics and turn into a humanitarian.
Lmfao, the idea that apartheid boy ever had any ideas for himself other than becoming white supremacist super king is as fucking laughable as the idea that he contributed anything to any company he has ever run other than money, or that any of the the work he exploits others for couldn't have been achieved any other way..
It is insane what Elon has achieved and what potential he has for the good or bad of humanity. I wonder how the pages of history will be written
It's amazing what his employees achieved. He didn't do fuck all
Right? The fact that people are still convinced he's some genius mastermind that people only hate because of what he did to twitter is fucking mind blowing.
If nothing else though, it goes to show just how well the propaganda is working..
Hopefully they'll call allowing it a great folly of late stage capitalism.
