I've tuned Ezra Klein out, but I guess this fairly center-right take that there's just too much pesky regulation is central to his current book tour?

though he oddly doesn't really mention that authoritarians are destroying corporate oversight and the regulatory state entirely? Which is..odd?

(this is the important one)

4. His tweets create controversy > which generates headlines > which bring people back to Twitter > thereby increasing revenue through ads or other methods (it's a strategy)

So, the more tweets, the more ridiculousness, the more his name is in the headlines, the more $$

OK maybe I'm not being clear.

Saying "Musk is right about..."

Or "Trump was right about..."

Or "Hitler was right about..."

Is a silly rhetorical device designed to curry favor with people that hate you, but irredeemably loses you trust with people that used to like you. You never need to say it.
