Musk Has Triggered A Corporate Deregulation Bomb

A #Delaware bill would award #ElonMusk $56 billion, shield corporate executives from liability, and strip away voting #power from shareholders.

"If lawmakers don’t enact the #law, which was written by Musk’s own lawyers, the billionaire mogul and his allies are threatening a mass exodus of companies out of the state."

Elon Musk has wanted a #government shutdown in part because it would make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

“You know none of this is about saving #money, right?” says a #Republican familiar with the behind-the-scenes push from #Musk.

“It’s all about destroying a liberal power base.”

“You know none of this is about saving #money, right?” says a 3rd #Republican familiar with the behind-the-scenes push from #Musk. “It’s all about destroying a liberal power base.”

Benn Jordan does it again: “You are witnessing the death of American capitalism”.

Great video, great insights. Rings true, with all that’s happening around us today. The Great Techbro Takeover is real, and it’s because once you accumulate enough wealth, money in itself ceases to be an important measure of wealth.

“The fossil fuel industry is also the economic elephant in the room. Annual profits of companies like Shell have fallen, but remain staggeringly high. Meanwhile, the world is emerging from its hottest year on record. By imposing taxes, levies & fines on dirty energy companies, ending export credits for oil and gas & eliminating harmful subsidies, new funds can underwrite public-private insurance schemes. It can also support millions in middle- and high-income countries who join the global majority by losing access to the insurance system.”
