Elon Musk is calling for an end to the European Union. There are two rational ways to look at this.
- He's got a point. The EU makes the lives of working people harder, more expensive, and less free. Only the truly naive would say that Brussels improves the lives of ordinary people.
- The last time Elon Musk made rational points about government, it ended badly. Well-intended politics usually do.
The context of his call to shut down Brussels comes after the European Union fined X $140 million under its Digital Services Act. This is an authoritarian law passed two years ago that hands unelected bureaucrats unprecedented power over online communication.
