The Inevitable Wage of Neoliberalism

Listen, someone like Elon Musk openly wondering why Democrats aren’t getting assassinated while also holding massive multi-billion dollar government security contracts is the inevitable wage of neoliberalism. The government can work with private business, sure, but when you outsource huge parts of the government to private corporations so that government, like higher education can be “run like a business,” this is what will eventually happen. You empower the worst people in the world, i.e,, billionaires with our core national security interests, all while having no regulation, no control, no other option than to work with them.

This kind of thing is as much on the Bill Clintons and Barack Obamas of the world as any Republican. People wanted to deify our billionaires. Well, deify Elon Musk then as he calls for the assassination of Democratic leaders.

Alternatively, we could nationalize Musk’s holdings and run national security from the government, in conjunction with private business, but not handing them the keys.
