    i've been trying to decide what to do with Elon and a big problem has come up

    the man has effectively done nothing, by which I mean we can't accurately judge him as a human or make measure upon his soul, for he is effectively just finance + memes: not a person, with feelings, a null quantity, alienated from any moral or determining freedom, and thus we all cry: surely there must have been some moral action, some essence, a thing beyond tweets; image-qua-marketing-department, a self, the thing that is more than just a nerd with a bad hairline, something to actually judge - yet - fine; not an inventor, nor engineer, nor even really a sinner, but something, and yet - is he good? is he evil? it matters not, not one bit, because is he even there? self as avatar of finance capital, and all that's left is "personality", which in this case is "quirky memes" - is he even real? i doubt it, and therefore lay no claims otherwise in moral judgment

    what did elon invent? nothing. what did elon even do? somehow even less. he had nothing to do with the cars, the rockets, the tunnels - at worst, he contributed to paypal, and really that's it, that's all - the rest was just the vertical tension of a narcissistic ego mediated by Twitter & capital.

    elon is an illusion, he's a projection of the collective nerd ego, invariably twisted to do great Evil, but it turns out to be wellkinda just Capital, and so what do we have then?

    we have the VOID. we have Absolute Nothing, uncritically grasped, and so it turns yet to Hell, and no judgment but the cries of the masses of internet commentariat, bubbling from solid-state cauldrons
