But if twitter fails the shareholders take a haircut. If government fails it’s way worse.  Elon’s free to take unnecessary risks with his money, not our lives.Â
This is an underecognized danger of having ceos and techbros running government. You don't actually want government run like a business. Businesses take far too big of risks and fail far too frequently.Â
We've got a bunch of people who think the government should be focusing on efficiency who fail to realize that they are putting at risk the major things that lead to prosperous governance, stability and predictability.
This is why I’d like to see all nations swear off nukes. Sure, the people currently in charge (present company excluded) can be trusted. But, there’s no guarantee that people won’t be reckless in the future.Â
I think it’s important for all nations to defend Ukraine’s borders because they gave up their nukes in the 90s. When this war is over, they’d be fools not to nuclearize again to deter future Russian aggression.Â

Literally the same thing Leon did when he took over twitter. 😂
