What did Elon mean by this?

It means that he wants privatized gains, but socialized loses.

It's 3D chess. He's just setting the stage for his presidential election in 2024 before he conquers the world and turns it into a crypto-fascist anarcho-capitalist dictatorship.

Screencap this post.

Well the Juden keep implying he's a Nazi or whatever, and Nazis are just socialists who say "not white socialism" instead of "not real socialism."

It's him admitting what we all already knew: he's illiterate.

correct. I prefer mixed economies, either with bureaucracy or with.

 No.86629

Technocracy, fucking duh. Foundational income, universal health, and an army of machines doing most of the work. People with the most ability would aggregate the most resources, but that'd be fine, because for the first time in human history, productivity would be totally outpacing reproduction- an easy way to keep everyone else fat and happy while the smart guys work.

Just like most scientists (not claiming he's one), he never studied economics so he repeats the shitty opinions he listened to in his circles, which sound really smart when it's the only thing you listened to.

I think the very basic book about economics by Thomas Sowell would be enough to fix him.


 No.86723

In addition to this, Musk and scientists get a fair amount of government funding, either through subsidies of their business/university of employment, or through handing out grant money in exchange for arriving at Court Intellectual talking points. As a result, they have a vested interest in ignoring economic realities and preaching socialism, else they risk losing their gibs.

Collectivization and centralization of resources, whether with consent or not, is what if not Socialist? If you mean he's not Communist in the way Marx thought the future man would be, then yea. Centralization and seizure of private property has always been a Socialist goal and tactic.

>Collectivization and centralization of resources, whether with consent or not, is what if not Socialist

if its done by an all-powerful federal state like burgertopia or spain, then shit like that & the NodeJS-tier 'black box alliance' called the EU, is undeniably p. fuckin' statist. it doesn't matter if it's neocon/lib retardation, a non-succession mandate will inevitably crumble to manufactured garbage corporations to undermine competition.

slightly more coherent mode in a trash-fire headache: all resource control should go towards the actual citizens in principalities&municipalities


 No.86728

He's drunk off a social media validation high, like most Twitter celebs. Literally every claim he's making is not only incorrect, but the direct opposite of the truth.

>By the way, I am actually a socialist

Literally nothing he does contributes to or fits any definition of socialism I've heard, from true commies to layman alike.

>Just not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive,

Except that's literally his entire shtick, every single one of his ventures rides off subsidies, and that's what subsidies are, shifting resources from something productive to something that's not.

>pretending to do good, while actually doing harm

Electric cars are more polluting than fossil fuel counterparts to produce, and only have a net positive impact after years of sustained use. Marketed as a luxury item, you can bet most Teslas will never make that threshold in their lifetimes. His tubetrains and space program are an ill equipped delusional fantasy, a giant sinkhole for resources that would be better put to use elsewhere.

>True socialism seeks greatest good for all

No interpretation of socialism intends to produce the greatest good

I hate to unironically be the chessnigger, but he's definitely not that much of a stupid goy, what Elon is doing is Machiavellianism 101, it's like when Putin claims to be a liberal or when North Korea claims to be democratic. It's very unlikely for there to be an element of stupidity or silliness when it comes to these people with a lot of influence. All their actions, no matter how stupid they seem, are all carried out with some kind of intent.

Musk has everything to gain and nothing to lose by calling himself a socialist. You'd have to be very gullible to think that you could get anywhere in this game by being completely honest. If anything, you should be honest to yourself (being a capitalist, if that's what you are), while telling everyone that you're something else.

He means that he's a cool and smart philosopher king, memelinneals, please take out a loan to buy his shit.

It's a dumb Twitter tweet sandwiched between dozens of others with similar likes and retweets. As much as you want to believe it's 4d chess, it only looks significant because it's specific /liberty/ shitposting potential got it singled out and posted here. He strokes his dick with Twitter so much that'd it's more than likely the result of a mere ego trip.


 No.86749

>>86733

Or it could just be him posting dumb shit on twitter like everyone else on the platform. This is some fairly normie tier bullshit spouting that is not worth anyone's attention.


 No.86750

>>86595

At this point I'd unironically support this.
