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.”

The libertarians want everything for free. Interesting.

And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.

What libertarians? I don't know much about Dorsey, but Musk doesn't seem much like a libertarian to me.

I'm not a libertarian and I want everything to be free. If I have an idea on how to make a device that betters the lives of those around me, why the hell would I keep it to myself or try to become rich off it?
