It's really fucking insulting that Musk wore that "What Would Orwell Think?" shirt, itself Orwellian. Especially because we actually *know* what Orwell would think.

I've been reading a lot of Orwell's articles and letters from around 1939-1943 and it's really eerie just how much aligns. Orwell was writing for left-leaning newsletters that literally called themselves "anti-fascist" and was more afraid than anything about the world domination of fascism and nazi'ism.

The wealthy & influential of 1933 used democracy to end democracy.

They too supported a dictatorship in the mistaken belief they could control him & still evade taxation.

They too enabled a dictator so they could turn democracy into a Spoils System of public corruption.

Elon Musk took Larry Ellison & Alwaleed bin Talal's money to buy an election.

Quasi legally & also for the same reasons. Tax evasion & public corruption.
