There has been this whole ongoing debate over the last few years as to of we've transitioned from a democratic society to an autocratic one ruled by the rich like Musk, etc.
It's interesting to me to think back to my history lessons and all the big industrial revolution companies, and their downfall. There was a time where nearly all the steel in the US and a large part of the world was controlled by one man. From the coal to the iron ore to the rail cars. Same with meat, same with so many other things.
At that time it would have seemed impossible to unseat those unbelievably powerful and rich men and companies would be taken down I the way they were.
Perhaps we're about to live through a similar time in history.
