As a thought experiment, if Musk had thought "Gee I don't want the Russians to be provoked into launching WWIII" and turned the system off, then we owe Elon thanks for the consideration. The point is the wisdom of allowing just one person to decide the fate of ANY system intended to serve many. The true consequence of asking is to see that we should have questioned all along, the creation of "Economic Emperors", for example, why do we allow one {jerk, I have to say} person to dictate no bathroom breaks to 500,000 workers? One guy can with the flick of a finger dispose of hundreds of thousands of collections of tediously constructed social networks, with no accountability?

Asking the question you did asks the implied question: why have we not smashed Capitalism yet?
