“@doctorow I endorse freedom to form a union too, as well as freedom not to do so if they feel Tesla is a good company. UAW has major conflicts of interest & failed our car plant already when they abandoned us in 2010. Tesla can only hire 5% of applicants, so must be doing something right.”

“@dimas_______ @Robotbeat @doctorow UAW doesn’t have 30% of signatures (about 6000 people) needed for a vote. They can’t even muster enough people for a free bbq. Instead, they’re getting paid trolls & far left shills to trash Tesla & me in press & social media. Such creeps.”

“@TheSithSeth @doctorow I’m not against all unions, but UAW has a track record of destroying productivity so a company can’t compete on world market. Our current factory went bankrupt under UAW before we took it over. Don’t want Tesla to die too.”

“@Robotbeat @doctorow I am too, of sorts. Govt (ie other taxpayers) should take care of critical needs of people, incl defense, judiciary, health care, etc. Rest should be companies competing to provide best product or service to the people.”

“@AntVenom @Shaynooooo @kausthav_ray @SpaceX Was originally called Puff the Magic Dragon, as people said I was high if though it could work, so I named it after their insult.”

“@doctorow Iain certainly wasn’t pro-union in the Culture books. At all. And wouldn’t be in the case of Tesla. Banks was about freedom through & through. Maybe for a single buyer (monopsony) vs single seller (monopoly), I would be too, but that’s a special case.”

“@leechy3 @kausthav_ray @SpaceX SX 300 & soon SX 500. Kind of a modern version of Inconel superalloys. High strength at temperature, extreme oxidation resistance. Needed for ~800 atmosphere, hot, oxygen-rich turbopump on Raptor rocket engine.”

“@kausthav_ray @SpaceX Structures, engines, avionics, guidance & control software, new alloys, space lasers (ooh, maybe I shouldn’t have said that) …”

“@mayemusk @kimbal Love you too 💕”

“@johngoo 👽🧚‍♀️🚀🍃🍄🍕🍕🍕”

“@RealMariaLOVE Fair point”

“Auto-semiotic asphyxiation (sorry, couldn’t resist)”

“@AntVenom And I don’t trust that Engels guy. He could have made up most of 2nd & 3rd volumes. Nobody actually knows.”

“@drgitlin Your math isn’t very good. Would require 61%. And what’s your issue anyway? Better suggestions are welcome.”

“@thetomzone I dare you to stop following me. Do it.”

“@Wi_Writer Ok”

“The enemy of my enemy is myself https://t.co/momMBAEuzU https://x.com/robertwiblin/status/1008148499433738240”

“@worldout_42 @Billsocalif @fnord3125 Exactly”

“@Alix_SS @ZhouChauster Libertinarian”

“@michaelshermer Direct democracy by the people. Laws must be short, as there is trickery in length. Automatic expiration of rules to prevent death by bureaucracy. Any rule can be removed by 40% of people to overcome inertia. Freedom.”

“@rknDA1337 @FredoDeSmet The mind sacrificing itself in the final ship battle”

“@FredoDeSmet All of them, especially Surface Detail”

“If you must know, I am a utopian anarchist of the kind best described by Iain Banks”

“@AbeDurrani @NelStamp @RRescenko @peterthiel I disagree with that goal & gave away Tesla patents to help other companies https://t.co/HPK5R5UMS6 https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you”

“@NelStamp @RRescenko If I’m not a communist, why do I make red cars 🚘 🤔”

“@kikkerin @soniasimone Very appealing if you’re a sophomore in college. It’s a counterpoint to communism and useful as such, but should be tempered with kindness.”

“@Gubisoul @monongahelaEX @AntVenom That is why it is critical to support competition. Excess profits draw in competitors who then drive down prices.”

“@soniasimone lol”

“@monongahelaEX @AntVenom Read Das Kapital when I was 14, incl cross-checking English translation of original German. Adam Smith FTW obv. Ironically, future automation will naturally lead to greater equality of consumption. Monopolies are true enemy of people. Competing to serve is good.”

“@Model3Owners @DMC_Ryan Might actually be his!”

“Amazing work by Tesla team. Built entire new general assembly line in 3 weeks w minimal resources. Love u guys so much! Pic of 1st Model 3 dual motor performance coming off the line … https://t.co/Xr55P3fmGd”

“@fnord3125 You’re a docile puppet of the UAW. Be honest about what you are.”

“@christapeterso Yes”

“@NickAPappas Sigh”

“By the way, I am actually a socialist. Just not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm. True socialism seeks greatest good for all.”

““No sense of humor” is certainly proving itself true. Good grief! How many socialists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Answer: That’s not funny!!”

“@R850Mango @tinytacotown Boys High is a government school for anyone local, which we were”

“@KevinOConnorNBA Lake Show”

“Heading back into the factory, so that’s enough for now. Don’t take my Tweet too seriously. For one thing, it’s called a “Tweet”.”

“@elmaddogg @tinytacotown No”

“@tinytacotown My father has no money. Only reason he even has a house is because my brother & I bought it for him on condition that he not cause harm to others. That obviously failed.”

“@CarltonTSC There is considerable confusion between wealth as consumption & wealth as labor allocation. By latter measure, anyone in govt whose budget exceeds $1B is a billionaire. Government is the largest corporation.”

“Socialism vs capitalism is not even the right question. What really matters is avoiding monopolies that restrict people’s freedom.”

“@Jack_Frodo Universal income will be necessary over time if AI takes over most human jobs”

“@AntVenom Marx was a capitalist. He even wrote a book about it.”

“@AntVenom A socialist”

“Those who proclaim themselves “socialists” are usually depressing, have no sense of humor & attended an expensive college. Fate loves irony.”

“@publicfreeman @BlackSocialists What is yours?”
