Jack Straw on Nostr: If Elon not paying his vendors sounds familiar, it's because these guys all follow ...
If Elon not paying his vendors sounds familiar, it's because these guys all follow the same sociopathic playbook: use overwhelming economic power to ruthlessly exploit those with signicantly less power and then market the proceeds of that exploitation as "genius." Once someone achieves a certain level of wealth—often inherited—there is virtually no disincentive to such behavior other than violating one's morals, and these guys don't have any morals. Another reason we need a (big) wealth tax.
