#SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #QuinnSlobodian & #BenTarnoff to talk about their book #Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed.

'We see a mind that is profoundly troubled by any contagion spreading into seemingly closed systems—it can take the form of racial others, transpeople, “woke” populations, or most generally and dismissively, “Non-Player-Characters.” '

Is Muskism set to define the 21st century, in much the same way as Fordism did through the 20th century?

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @bentarnoff and @zeithistoriker to discuss the system Elon Musk has built and the threats it poses for society.

「マスキズム」とは何か、何をもたらすのか

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://p2ptk.org/notes/5603

"Muskism can be defined as an orientation promising “sovereignty through technology” in an unstable world. The authors synthesize three currents of thinking that inform his worldview: fortress futurism, cybernetic collectives, and state symbiosis. Fortress futurism is the deployment of technology through entrenchment of societal hierarchy; state symbiosis is the fusion of Musk’s holdings with the state; and cybernetics is the fusion of the human with the digital.

Muskism is not an optimistic ideology, its fruits bestowed exclusively on a chosen few. Musk is aware that his right-wing, white-nationalist politics bring forth only chaos and immiseration for vast swaths of the public. His answer to this is to close ranks. To those he sees as worthy of life, he offers what the authors call “sovereignty as a service”: providing self-sovereignty on the individual level with electric vehicles built to insulate the consumer from geopolitical oil shocks, and on the national level with Starlink’s satellites and SpaceX’s rockets. At his core, Musk is a survivalist. The hierarchies on which our world is built are fixed, and the externalities of such a system are inevitable. The only thing left to do is to protect yourself by entering his walled garden, a paradise insulated from the racialized masses, which, according to Musk’s far-right radicalization, are an existential threat to the West.

Inside this fortress, there is a dialectic at play. Musk’s factories and companies are vertically integrated to create a seemingly flat structure, but the lack of hierarchy on the factory floor is used to entrench power structures outside of it."
