Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”

X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

Kinda feel like they said something like

"I think everyone should have food"

And you responded with

"you want a Walmart on every block in the world?? do you even know the environmental impact that will have? Poor people are really to blame anyways because they're not voting with their wallets enough"

How an asshole can mess something up is entirely independent of how a proper implementation might not mess up

Edit to say: I think this is what they meant in their comment about (American) capitalist propaganda; You dont realise your implicit bias enforcing that it must be a capitalist implementing it without any external input.

To the rest of the world he's just an infamous citizen in a dying country, who would never realistically have 1/10th the pull needed to enforce that BS internationally; by starting the conversation at best he'd speed up external implementations.
