It's getting harder and harder to discredit the idea that this is the most well-crafted and effective $44 billion marketing campaign for socialism. We are seeing Elon speed running the lessons of: - There is no value without labor; - Labor organization is crucial to protecting workers; and - Meritocracy is a myth. SpaceX was always the primary cause for people deifying Elon but I think it's becoming clearer and clearer that SpaceX succeeded in spite of Elon not because of him. You literally could not make up the happenings at Twitter since Elon was forced to purchase it after impulsively agreeing to buy it. Between this and the elction we're seeing a bunch of fat Ls for Peter Thiel and his blood boys (JD Vance notwithstanding). I'm including Elon in this cabal (ever since X.com/Papal) as there's a lot of evidence that Thiel was whispering in Elon's ear about acquiring Twitter and may well have been instrumental in Elon shifting further and further right politically. Imagine for a second firing and losing 90% of your workforce in a month and then scrambling and begging to get some of them back as you realize they're essential. Thing is, this is only beginning. Wait until law enforcement and the government get involved (eg child safety, consent decree compliance). And on top of that Elon is taken mere weeks to completely destroy verification and then discover exactly why verification existed and is necessary. And today we have employees simultaneously locked out of the building (after ending remote work) and begging engineers to show up with screenshots of code. You couldn't write this stuff.
