The following comment from “Big Dick Nick Cage” on the post says it all. Pasting it here in full because Y combinator types need a dose of cold hard reality once in a while. — I think like all Libertarian projects, this is the rich guy's version of Going Galt. Instead of declaring themselves the Emperor of Cincinnati and a sovereign citizen, they declare that THIS world is stupid and GAY and they're going to make a NEW world on Mars/the metaverse/wherever where they don't have to deal with things like dumb ol' REGULATIONS and TAXES with the subtext that, of course, the right people will be in charge this time, which is to say, them. What is truly depressing about this generation of oligarchs is their fantasies are all from 80s sci-fi movies and aren't anything interesting. At least Carnegie built some damn libraries. At least the Gilded Age monarchs endowed universities and art galleries and other things to show their Big Shot Rich Guy fantasies. I mean, Christ, at least be a Batman villain. Drop hundred dollar bills from a helicopter over downtown just to watch the proles scramble. At least Trump ran for president. Zuck was too weird and offputting for that! Imagine being weirder and more offputting! These dudes have more money they can ever spend and still want to be the Big Shot Business Guy sitting in meetings 18 hours a day. Imagine winning the lottery and being like "Hmm, yes, I want to make everyone come into the office to sit around in a conference room and nod at me while I talk. FOR HOURS." The legacy of Bezos/Musk etc. is going to be space debris and cars that make fart noises.
