He doesn't see it as wasteful. He sees it as a threat to the wealthy screwing over consumers. He has the same hostility toward all regulators, including the NHTSA, which does an incredible job of keeping cars as safe as they are.
Elon Musk openly advertises and impulsively manifests all the same core beliefs of any of these kleptocrats, and in my opinion with a little humor to help my techno-totalitarian dystopian nightmare go down.
Everyone from pg to Thiel to Bezos to Musk to pmarca to fucking all of them believe all the same stuff about the ability to do a thing is justification for doing it. They all rehash tired bankrupt Randian horseshit to create a tarnished aura around it.
Thank you Elon for saying it out loud so that we know what we’re dealing with. See you in the trenches asshole.
If we held any of the top ballers in 2024 to a standard even slightly more honest than the color scheme of the political party we’d apply that -100 to basically all of them, wouldn’t we?
By all means hold Musk to account, it’s the right thing to do.
But it’s borderline religious to duck the obvious corollary that this is a war for all the marbles. Blade Runner or TNG.
Around here everyone puts in work, cliqued up or not. And we’re not talking about helping us with our computer skills (have you used Google or Facebook recently?).
You can get the same outcomes you get from Mag7 and YC and shit by accident in a hypothetical prison with purely emergent properties.
By all means keep appeasing these cats, there’s always next batch. But sooner or later you’re next. 30% layoffs industry wide followed by a savage EPS beat. Someone call Lina Khan before she gets fired for integrity. Being the last sycophant to be eaten is a very weird strategy.

> But it was soon reported that Andreessen’s venture capital firm, Andreessen Horwitz, was among other investors who had backed LendUp, an online consumer payday lender, that was shut down by the CFPB in 2018.
There it is. One of his twitter buyout investors needs a favor.
He cried a lot when a twitter a/c was sharing his Jet's location, but recently he shared names and location of a lot of Feds employees. Doxxing is illegal only when it hurts me.

The mask has really come off, if it was ever on.
