Starting a business in america when you're even remotely a sliver right of Marx be like:
https://files.catbox.moe/5o81du.png![]()
A million bureucrats and tax thieves slithering up everyones asshole with paperwork and redtape because their heads have collective exploded over some comment you made publicly twenty years ago, while some purple-hair on bluethreads, assisted by thinly veiled NSA adjuncts manages to "hack" or doxx your business so they can fill the void in their hollow lives with the never ending ideological war of globalized communism against sanity.
inb4 "needs more jpeg"
And if you build anything remotely successful, this would be the treatment of you as well.
See the DoD stealing L-band bandwidth and bankrupting some satcom business in virginia because the proper palms weren't greased.
Or the one mid-western militia 'infiltrated' by some homo with painted toe nails playing spy, and freaking out about the "militia hunting him down" because one sheriff invited him over to his house, only for the dude to freak out about the sheriff having a big dog or a gun on the table.
And thats the people breaking up every organization you make. University educated, with your tax dollars, homos, neurotic idealogues, overpaid NSA trolls, silicon valley faggots upset that someone they don't even know disagrees with them, or some group or other might organize politically without their say-so, legions of worthless punks and 'full-time student' dipshits reaking like hobos while scarfing down a river of mind-altering pharmaceuticals, perpetually blown the fuck out over the prospect that somewhere, anywhere, 'out there' are people that might disagree with them, or not like them, or not go along with it.
These people aren't even human. They're termites eating away at society and lashing out at everything, and because of the mass recruitment through NGOs, through algorithms on social media, through government programs like the 'misinformation centers' et al, they've been empowered to attack anyone, censor anyone, dox anyone, threaten anyone and their family, shut people down, harass them, torch their homes or brick the windows of their businesses, stalk their employers or employees until people leave.
It all has to fucking go, all of it, all of them, and everyone in the government and the extra-judicial extensions of the government (the corporations and NGOs).
edit: Not a commentary on musk yea or nay.
The total state of america.

We already have those, and everything you cited is already happening in spite of those.
You argue government regulations are necessary.
I argue the government itself is unnecessary and should be gotten rid of and rebooted, if at all.
I argue those regulations exist for the explicit purpose of exploiting them against us.
We are at an impasse.

I don't think I ever advocated corporations running the country.
This is something thats already happening. The big players can pay the fines and avoid scrutiny or shutdown, while the smaller and medium sized businesses can't, so we end up with more corporate power concentrated into fewer, larger, more opaque entities.
If everyone is on an equal playing field because regulations can't be wielded as a weapon (supposing many regulations are tossed out), there will exist no benefit to engage in a race to the bottom.
Failed to read the post at all. This isn't a commentary on musk or trump. X/Tesla/et al are used purely as an example.

You're not getting it. Government regulations. do. not. work.
They are wielded as weapons to suppress competition.
When competition is present, companies struggle to dominate sufficiently to justify the cost of the bribery and campaign donations necessary to buy government.
With government regulation, it formalizes what levers to buy in order to minimize competition, which in a loop, makes it cheaper to buy further regulations used by said corporations to minimize competition.

Lol, "competition"? How can there be any? Try and compete against apple, Google etc. Good luck

Competition is not present, exactly. Google is a subsidiary of the u.s. government. And apple is subsidized by asian slave labor.
They can get away with this precisely because there are regulations against these things, which the established players can bribe their way out of, giving them an edge against everyone who is smaller than them. It's a permanent artificial advantage.
Take it away, and the race to the bottom commences even faster and in earnest, and then that same race to the bottom becomes self-defeating.

Absoulutely, 3M would never have been able to poison the entire globes water supply with forever chemicals if not for the protection of the government.

Take your head out of your ass for an hour, get some much needed oxygen, and go look up "3M, forever chemicals and jew government regulations". Or just kill yourself, you might as well. Even if you looked it up, which you won't, you'd still eagerly suck that jew government cock. It's in your DNA to suck jew cock.
