Rhetorical, right? Because he can make significantly more off you in a closed system.

This is what I keep saying, he hated the establishment so he built his own
If he was in it for only the money he could have built less risky companies. Maybe I was naive to think he actually wanted to advance society instead of bringing more totalitarian rule, or that he was smarter than this.
Could it be a little of both? He could believe he is advancing society but also believe his way is the "right way" of doing so? At the end of the day, he needs money to advance his interests so that also has to fuel his thought process and decision making in some capacity.
it’s possible he is just a webboomer.
maybe he can’t see outside the legacy monolith model
no one is immune from getting stuck in a paradigm.
