What Elon says:

“I just don’t like anything which creates a lords and peasants kind of thing.”

What Elon means:

“I want all the workers to be peasants. By the way, I am king.”

@aral Or: I prefer slaves because they are more manageable than peasants.

@aral
It's likely that Musk's public comments are always "spin" and not to be taken at face value.

Pelle S Christensen

@aral I'm amazed that he fails to see the irony.
At least the union conflicts in Sweden are spreading to Norway and Denmark (hopefully Germany).
He can call it a peasant rebellion for all I care as long as he yields.

Adam Dalliance

@aral yeah, he doesnt like it when unions direct attention towards the fact workers are peasants and bosses are lords. prefers that to be unstated.

Schroedinger

@aral Totally. He doesn't want lords and peasants. He wants lord and peasants.

Joan Westenberg

@aral it's so cynically false. One can't shake the feeling that he truly believes the world isn't smart enough to see through it.

@aral I mean, what can you expect from the Technoking. 🙄

Elon actually wants existing governments to descend to anarchy (no rules or governance), so he can leverage what he has (wealth) to make him a dictator over his rules and governance.

He is a child who doesn’t ever want his mummy to tell him what to do, even if it’s good for him.
