"Please tax the wealthy, but first, it's a better idea to run government in the most efficient way possible."
Yeah, if someone tells me that they can spend Elon Musk's money more productively than he can, I'd kind of like them to be able to point to some track record of having done that in the past with all the other money they've had their hands on.
- gbhn 11y agoMany people think Musk is in the top percentiles of "using money well." While I think it is always appropriate to want the government to run better, it's probably not fair to set such a high bar for it. One might just as easily say "no VC should invest money in any company whose founder has a poorer track record than Elon Musk" which is of course a ridiculous posture.
