Innovation is happening in the decentralized space, but he doesn't mind his app being centralized, if he's in control.
The Chinese app Weibo kinda does everything, social media, chat, payments (which is partnered w/ alibaba, their amazon) of course, when companies get this big, they are basically part of the state. Elon musk likes to have spicy tweets and hates taxes but whether we are talking about tesla, or space x, his #1 customer is the government.
The super-rich hate anything or anyone being more powerful than him. Thats why I wish he'd see: a centralized app + time = a governmentcompromised app. But the rich also have egos. This is good in a sense that if no one took themselves really seriously, no one would ever think they can send people to other planets. What I'm saying is, he thinks he can remain in control. I don't think he can.
I agree with all that but he is a statist and doesn't hate taxes.
