I’m starting to think Musks acquisition is a piece of performance art akin to the KLF burning a million quid.
It would honestly be better for Musk if it was. The man is clearly not stupid but he’s been drinking his own Kool-aid for far too long.
What supports your opinion that Musk is “clearly not stupid”?
Primarily that he's the second richest man in the world. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's self-made, I don't think he did it all on his own, yadda yadda. But a stupid person would not be where he is in life.
I'm genuinely convinced Nathan Fielder's "friendship" with Musk is just one very big long-game TV show he's working on.
Seriously, why does everyone put "good faith" at the bottom of the list of possibilities?
Because his capricious dictums that seem to be born from a disdain of the user base and generally unstable demeanor?
Cognitive dissonance
KLF are situationists. Musk is an anti-situationist union-breaker. Both are playing at something that's not just nihilism
