Alison Creekside on Nostr: Musk is just the most recent asshole to say the world should be run by alpha males ...
Musk is just the most recent asshole to say the world should be run by alpha males instead of democratically elected governments.
This was a founding principle of neoliberalism from Friedrich Hayek to Augusto Pinochet - that a "free market" would allow an elite group of successful entrepreneurs to replace representative democracy with a market-proven elite.
The destruction of democracy and the planet is just collateral damage to that end.
