    Why are we focusing on musk when 150 went to a war profiteering company? And 90 to a company that kills it’s whistleblowers? Rn musk seems like the least of our worries

    I think you’re confusing “oligarchy” with “authoritarian”… one doesn’t necessarily imply or require the other.

    Authoritarianism is when taxes pay for defense and civil space program?

    Yeah I get it, out military is bloated, does bad things, and we keep the industrial complex going buy selling weapons to almost anyone who will buy them.

    The government paying SpaceX to build rockets is not authoritarianism.

    Wow, government contractors get paid by the government which translates to your tax dollars. That money bought things. How the money made from businesses gets distributed and what the government spends money on are totally different discussions. What a stupid fucking meme.
