As if things weren’t terrible enough, the techbros of the world have decided the one-two punch of Donald Trump and Elon Musk will make them even richer than they already are, even if it means making the world a worse place to live… or suddenly die.

“We love disruption, and whatever’s good for America will be good for Americans and very good for Palantir,” Karp said, apparently excited about Musk’s effort. “Disruption, at the end of the day, exposes things that aren’t working,” he continued. “There will be ups and downs. There’s a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off. We’re expecting to see really unexpected things and to win.”

What an incredibly stupid set of things to say. Just one after the other, a real Mortal Kombat combo of nonsense bereft of any level of intelligence.

Incredible.

People like him "love disruption" only if it's them doing the disrupting. Some eggs have to be broken to make an omelet, as long as they're not their eggs. But the millisecond someone else disrupts or breaks their shit (which clearly only shows that it wasn't working properly, right?), they'll whine, get mad, sue, involve the government, protest and cry - because suddenly disruption and sacrifice and rolling heads are not as much fun anymore...
