Musk is not and never should have been a symbol of crypto.

Crypto, true crypto, is an anarchist vision. No gods, no masters. No banks, no top-down authority. Cooperation through voluntary association based on an agreed code of conduct.

Musk, on the other hand, is a fascist. He treats his employees like well-compensated slaves. He takes control of information networks in order to "save" them. He is closely associated with and supportive of the Xi regime, which does reality control and social monitoring sht straight out of 1984 (and before you say that China is communist, please look up the actual definitions of communism and fascism and then think about what China actually looks like rather than what it calls itself). For fcks sake, Musk even plans to mass implant chips in people's brains. You can't make this sht up.

There is a thin line between genius and insanity and intellectual ability does not translate into a strong sense of morality. Musk is not on the side of those who value human dignity and liberty, and he is not what crypto stands for.
