:so-true: "Thank you for the pod Elon sir! I'm so glad I live in a free market and not under that evil gommunism where I would get a better home for free!"
:my-hero: "Uh huh, enjoy. Don't forget to pay your monthly door subscription or the door will lock and catch on fire."
Elon's futurism looks a lot like a plot to preserve car culture and single family housing
One of the saddest tragedies is that Elon Musk is an anti-intellectual, anti-rationalist, who literally bought his way into being the mascot of both the sciences and futurism. No one seems to be able to recognize that and it is horrifying. He is the new Edison.
With his status as mascot, he bends it towards this inauthentic drive for blind consoomerism and all his bullshit is blamed on the left. It's apparently the left that is making people live in the pod and eating the bugs because we are anti consoomers. However, the masses are okay with billionaires having yet another yacht and them actually living in pods.
