I am Elon Musk, and I'm here to ask you a question.
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his suing an Uber driver who gave someone he doesn't know a lift to an abortion clinic for $10,000USD?
'No!' says the man in Washington, 'but chill we won't make doing that unconstitutional or anything'.
'No!' says the man in Silicon Valley, 'there isn't an app and the lawsuit isn't even enforced with an Ethereum smart contract, this is boring'.
'No!' says the man on twitter, 'but actually yes if the person suing is neurodivergent and lawsuits are their special interest, but y'all ain't ready to have that conversation'.
I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.
I chose the impossible. I chose... moving to Austin for tax reasons.
A city where the culture warrior would not fear being cancelled.
Where the tech bro would not be bound by being made fun of over ideas that make no sense.
Where the billionaire taking billions more in government subsidies would not be constrained by even the barest minimum of delivering on what those subsidies were for!
And in exchange for the surplus value of your insecure labor, Austin can become where you give most of your money to live in a dilapidated rental as well.
