This behavior seems much in line with Musk. The all in podcast has four high net worth people with a similar vibe. Something disturbing is going on in the ranks of the "elite". I get these people are narcissistic, but the overt displays of contempt combined with authoritarian cowtowing is a bit frightening. A trade war with China combined with other increasing consequences conflicts seems to be bringing the age of global free trade to an end, or at least a very different one. The Ukrainian success with naval drones may mean the end of secure seas as well. Drones are cheap, anonymous, and effective. That implies an disruption to the multinational corporate order, and an emphasis on domestic or near domestic production, and less of the government independence / arbitrage that the super rich have gotten used to. But the ultras all seem to be going into these maniacal bond villain molds. Is Musk a symptom or a torchleader?
