@zer0billionaires@mastodon.social Anyone interested in a thoughtful but deep cutting analysis of Elon's recent interview might enjoy Damien Walter's post: https://damiengwalter.com/2026/08/04/why-elon-musk-can-never-understand-iain-m-banks/ Damien is a science fiction critic, so comes from the angle of Elon describing Iain M Banks' "Culture" as a vision of the AI-led future we're heading for. But (after a couple of jarring ad-hominems) Damien settles into a deep look at why Elon does not understand this socialist vision. (The audio version is entirely sufficient)
