Is Muskism set to define the 21st century, in much the same way as Fordism did through the 20th century?
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @bentarnoff and @zeithistoriker to discuss the system Elon Musk has built and the threats it poses for society.

"Muskism can be defined as an orientation promising “sovereignty through technology” in an unstable world. The authors synthesize three currents of thinking that inform his worldview: fortress futurism, cybernetic collectives, and state symbiosis. Fortress futurism is the deployment of technology through entrenchment of societal hierarchy; state symbiosis is the fusion of Musk’s holdings with the state; and cybernetics is the fusion of the human with the digital.
Muskism is not an optimistic ideology, its fruits bestowed exclusively on a chosen few. Musk is aware that his right-wing, white-nationalist politics bring forth only chaos and immiseration for vast swaths of the public. His answer to this is to close ranks. To those he sees as worthy of life, he offers what the authors call “sovereignty as a service”: providing self-sovereignty on the individual level with electric vehicles built to insulate the consumer from geopolitical oil shocks, and on the national level with Starlink’s satellites and SpaceX’s rockets. At his core, Musk is a survivalist. The hierarchies on which our world is built are fixed, and the externalities of such a system are inevitable. The only thing left to do is to protect yourself by entering his walled garden, a paradise insulated from the racialized masses, which, according to Musk’s far-right radicalization, are an existential threat to the West.
Inside this fortress, there is a dialectic at play. Musk’s factories and companies are vertically integrated to create a seemingly flat structure, but the lack of hierarchy on the factory floor is used to entrench power structures outside of it."

#Muskism state take over plan - a chilling account
"Obviously ( #DOGE !), Muskism also seeks to dismantle the state, but only the parts of it that can be transferred to Musk's own private hands. Muskism is about big government…for Musk, but not for you. It embodies that important conservative value summarized in Wilhoit's Law:"
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

The Guardian | Muskism by Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff review – how Elon Musk is reshaping the world by Christopher Webb
Henry Ford changed the face of industry forever – what kind of economic model do Musk’s methods presage?
Genius industrialist or clownish conman, humanity’s saviour from a rapidly crumbling planet or rabid social media troll – the verdicts on the world’s richest person vary in flavour, but most share something in common: they focus on Musk as an individual. In their study, Quinn Slobodian, a historian at Boston University, and Ben Tarnoff, a tech writer, wish to reframe the conversation. The most important question, they argue, is not “who is Musk?” but “what is Musk a symptom of?”
As the title suggests, their answer is “Muskism”, the coinage a deliberate nod to Fordism, the shorthand for 20th-century capitalism built on the pairing of mass production with mass consumption. If Fordism was the last century’s operating system, Slobodian and Tarnoff contend that Muskism is this century’s.

Präsentiert als perfekte Freiheit ist Musks Versprechen "Souveränität durch Technologie" in Wahrheit der Schlüssel für ein globales Monopol.
Die Nutzung seiner Infrastruktur führt in umfassende Abhängigkeit von nur einem Mann: #ElonMusk - statt zur in Aussicht gestellten Autarkie. 😧Das betrifft #BürgerInnen direkt als Privatpersonen, aber auch Staaten und Organisationen wie die NASA, die auf Musks Raketen angewiesen sind. #Hacks statt #Demokratie?

Wie wärs wenn tagesschau.de statt von Twitter (und so Muskism zu supporten), die Inhalte aus dem Fediverse, z.B. Mastodon einbindet, sofern verfügbar.In dem Beitrag ist ein Inhalt von wahlrecht.de eingebunden. @wahlrecht_de ist auch hier. :) Hier das Posting auf Mastodon:

What he didn’t add is that each of those RPCs sends 100s of interrupts to the neural network that causes it to suffer 1000s of cache misses. The TCP/IP exponential backoff mechanism then kicks in.
The culprit: clock skews introduced by undefined behavior of the Python compiler.
