Tesla files site plan for 'ecological paradise' beside Austin gigafactory
Tesla Inc. has filed a site plan with the city of Austin to restore 28 acres of riverfront land beside its East Austin gigafactory, which will include a concrete shared-use path, decomposed granite walking trail, and an elevated riverfront wood boardwalk.
A bigger gripe, and perhaps an unfair one, is that the authors try too hard to make sense of late-phase mad Musk. They write seriously about Muskism as “cyborg conservatism”; about Musk’s fear that the “woke mind virus” will interfere with his dreams of making Homo sapiens a multiplanetary species; about Musk’s evocation on Joe Rogan’s podcast of a “super oppressive woke nanny AI that is omnipotent” and might “execute you if you misgender someone”.
👉It’s well known that the most personal reason for his switch from palatable if geekish discourse on tech to rancid interventions in global culture wars and hard-right politics is his failure to come to terms with his daughter Vivian coming out as trans in 2020. 👈 But even that is arguably a distraction from something simpler and more in-your-face (especially if you still use X) – namely the slow crack-up of a narcissistic bazillionaire of limited emotional bandwidth surrounded by sycophants, overfond of ketamine and increasingly convinced of his infallibility on every subject his addled mind turns to in the long night hours on his private jet, even as Tesla sales slump and the giant rocket he once hoped would take humans to Mars keeps blowing up.

The Guardian | Muskism by Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff review – how Elon Musk is reshaping the world by Christopher Webb
Henry Ford changed the face of industry forever – what kind of economic model do Musk’s methods presage?
Genius industrialist or clownish conman, humanity’s saviour from a rapidly crumbling planet or rabid social media troll – the verdicts on the world’s richest person vary in flavour, but most share something in common: they focus on Musk as an individual. In their study, Quinn Slobodian, a historian at Boston University, and Ben Tarnoff, a tech writer, wish to reframe the conversation. The most important question, they argue, is not “who is Musk?” but “what is Musk a symptom of?”
As the title suggests, their answer is “Muskism”, the coinage a deliberate nod to Fordism, the shorthand for 20th-century capitalism built on the pairing of mass production with mass consumption.
