Date: 2023-12-26 08:33 am (UTC)One of the 'truths' I have long believed to be true has been partially disproven by Elon Musk:
A billionaire is a sovereign nation of One, placed above local sovereignty and the local laws within any other nation-state.
And yet, Musk keeps running into consequences for violating the law. Some of the time. Nation-states can sometimes invoke their laws and tell him what to do.
Or tell him 'No'.
The fact that this happens at all - and that we sometimes get to hear about it - tells me that I am at least partially wrong about the sovereignty of the super-wealthy, and that Elon Musk is crap at being a billionaire.
