Among pro-capitalist pundits, Musk’s ascension to trillionaire status has been the occasion for a round of sycophantic applause, as they all rush to tell us why it’s good for one individual to control this much of the world’s resources. At Fox News, we’re told that Musk “earned every penny,” and is living proof that “capitalism continues to reward individuals who create extraordinary value.” Similarly, an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times tells us that his SpaceX fortune is “a testament to human ingenuity, immigrant success and American greatness.” The National Review offers “Three Cheers For Elon Musk,” calling criticism of his hyper-wealth “revolting. Repulsive. Grotesque. Un-American.”

Now, there are all kinds of political and economic reasons why these claims are wrong, and we’ve discussed them at some length elsewhere. Two of the most important are that by hoarding wealth, billionaires and now trillionaires are actively keeping other people in poverty, making the whole thing monstrously unethical, and that their vast fortunes allow them to buy political power and make a mockery of the word “democracy.” Both of these things are true of Musk, who has bragged about using his wealth to get Donald Trump elected and likely killed hundreds of thousands of people across Africa with his “DOGE” aid cuts. (If you start to count the lives Musk could save if he put his money to good use, the numbers get even more staggering.)

But another, morbidly fascinating aspect of this whole moment is that, despite possessing wealth that rivals the emperors of the ancient world, Musk’s existence is a bizarre and cursed one in many important ways. His personal relationships with the people closest to him, by all appearances, are dysfunctional and abusive to varying degrees. He desperately wants to be adored by the public, but with every attempt, their approval slips further from his grasp. Instead of enjoying his money and leisure, he spends his waking hours obsessing over racist conspiracy theories and paranoid fantasies about the end of the world. And to add the final insult, he doesn’t even have a trillion dollars in any real sense; he just has to spend a lot of time and energy keeping up an elaborate fiction that he does.

In a way, Musk’s fans are right: he’s a perfect example of capitalism at work, with its relentless drive for growth and acquisition at the expense of everything else. It’s just that those are terrible principles to base a human life

On Friday, August 5, 1994, thousands of Cubans gathered along Havana’s Malecón after rumors raged through the city that a fleet of boats was coming from Miami to pick up any Cuban who wanted to leave the island. When police attempted to disperse the crowds, protests erupted with chants of “Freedom!” and “Down with Fidel!” Demonstrators threw rocks and bottles at shop windows and tourist-only hotels. After police arrested hundreds of people and broke up the protests, Fidel Castro toured the Malecón.

Yes. Authoritarianism is mostly driven by economics. And it afflicts both communism and unregulated or “free” market capitalism.

Authoritarianism is ultimately driven by power. Economics is just a tool used to control wealth and resources to keep the subjects in compliance.

Huh?

Walk the streets of Havana and then walk the streets of Miami and you tell me where Cuban Americans or Cubans have prospered

Cubans in Cuba live in misery and their brothers and sisters in Miami are doing very well!

The results of this study should be presented to every American kid in school. Yes?

Right along with the American quality of life compared to other OECD countries. And the failing American dream.

Your constant references to Cuba are anecdotal.

Who is fighting to "keep the Dems hands out of working people’s pockets"? Maybe Massie, Paul, etc. It's certainly not MAQA Republicans. they're hanging working people out to dry.

There are lots of examples of trump, his family and friends unethically profiting from his presidency - cryptocurrency "bribes", selling pardons, no-bid sweetheart deals, frivolous lawsuits, etc.

Imagine the irony of Commy TDS 88 who indulges in intellectual theft on here every day of CHs creativity to try and hide his totally uninspiring and boring message but claimed his crime victims are the guilty ones

And of course can’t begin to imagine why anyone would do what the media wouldn’t do….. but continues the trendy but Trump narrative and is whimpering that someone stood up and told the truth about Joey I don’t give to charity Biden
