> Musk is an authoritarian at heart. What he cares most about is achieving the maximum authority with the least constraint
I'm really wanting to understand where this view comes from.
What are the specific pieces of evidence for this? Who does he want authority over? How does that help him achieve his desired outcomes?
From my position, I have no dog in the fight but from a brief assessment of his public words and actions I see someone who is fairly left-wing on economics, drug policy and the environment, and his underlying position on free speech seems congruent with those of George Orwell and John Stuart Mill, both of whom were strongly left-libertarian in their time.
What are the specific pieces of evidence that demonstrate what he really wants, and what will really benefit him personally, is to take away people's freedom and agency?
