While in the shower, the thought struck me that we're witnessing Snowcrash playing out in real time with this whole Zuck vs. Elon trying to "out-nazi" each other bit in a bid to see who can be the real L. Bob Rife.
Zuck really wants to be Rife, but he made a couple of missteps that ensure that he will likely end up being more Reverend Wayne to Musk's Rife. Zuck thought that controlling the message by building and shaping the data in the Metaverse was enough to control the populace (and to be sure, it has definitely gone a long way).
But Elon played a longer game, publicly playing the "humanitarian", change-the-world "genius" by diversifying into several key hardware areas to distract the eye, all the while silently gobbling up control of the medium of the infrastructure - rockets, satellites, communications, transportation. He only bought the message platform to cement his control of the medium and make it indispensable to the Fascist-In-Chief and his sycophants.
Zuck's fighting back, but I think it's too late for him. Just like Reverend Wayne, he's realizing that he couldn't see the medium for the message, and a real nazi that has been playing the long game just like L. Bob Rife did in the book, has undercut him. :mark: is trying to make up ground to suck up to the fascists, but I personally think that that particular ship (or rather, the flotilla with an aircraft carrier at the center) has sailed. If Meta dies, Zuck doesn't have any infrastructure control to restart it.
And when I see shit like this, it seems to be pretty clear that :spacekaren: is winning this particular race to the bottom. :moodfacehd:
