"Again: what happened today was an incredible achievement, but it is an achievement that does not belong to Musk, much as he will reap all the credit for it. This was the work of engineers, physicists, programmers, factory workers, janitors, and their neglected families as all of them worked inhumane hours to realize Musk’s childish fantasies and cynical ambitions alike. They should all be incredibly proud of what they accomplished. Musk just made some dumb tweets and stuck a car in it, all while holding their lives hostage with the implicit contract that binds all workers under capital: work for me if you want to eat."

"Ownership of space is impossible, but Musk aims for the next best thing: control over access and resources. In stoking public excitement, Musk doesn’t aspire to raise humanity — he aspires to attract investors. SpaceX is, as such, effectively a very boring supervillain’s plot."

"You can’t reach such wealth without actively denying someone else the right to an even minimally decent existence. Whether it’s cutting corners, mistreating workers, bulldozing affordable housing and wildlife, or simply the banal evil of pursuing capital for its own sake, at a certain point you can’t explain it away. Musk’s pursuit of capital has cost people their homes, their jobs, their health, and their lives. He knows this, and he has continued — accelerated, even. It is the same choice every rich person makes.

As such, Musk’s fundamental contempt is laid bare: he has the capacity to do good, and actively chooses not to."

"But even if Musk was, by all accounts, a paragon of a good person who followed the letter of the law, he’d still be scum. Elon Musk is one of the fraction of a percent of people with the material wealth and power to impose near-instant improvement in people’s lives, and chooses to use his astonishing wealth to… generate more wealth and pursue his pet projects."

Comment on fait avancer un cheval communiste ? Il dit « C'est moi ! » mais en fait c'était pas lui.
