QuoteWhat Musk has accomplished thus far is indeed incredibly impressive.
I'll disagree. Capitalism destroys competition via overproduction, and when the rate of profit drops from of this overproduction enough, a thing happens called a RECESSION. The wheels of industry are seized up, and productive capacity erodes. Then when productive capacity is degraded enough by the prolonged suffering, profitability becomes restored and a boom cycle results.
A shithead like Musk who receives government welfare to build his industries and who then faces no competition from competitors is not a genius. In Musk's situation an idiot could succeed. And did.
Musk is a parasite.
The Powell Memo has been hard at work. The wheels of industry are very good at protecting idiots.
* My little town, how happy we were to put Mom and Pop out of Bizness paying no sales tax when we bought our books from Bozos. Remember that, we were happy selling our souls for years. Mom and Pop always had to pay shipping. Bozos did not even have to pay benefits or a living wage. And everyone was fine with it or too busy to notice the disparity.
