  Same play as Twitter, I suppose. Power accretes.

    I think he's trying to build a family dynasty à la (Mobile Suit) Gundam's (Principality of) Zeon family.

      I have a really hard time imaging Zeon Zum Deikun tweeting about doing drugs with Grimes, or whether or not Tor Casval should get elf-ear surgery.

      Personally I think we're headed more towards a House Harkonnen style monarchic-technocracy with that particular 'leadership'.

        Yeah, I would agree that Dune is closer to our reality now politically, since Greenpeace, and groups like it, aren’t building a militia or anything close to the Zeon regime just yet, but I think Musk probably wants mecha eventually. Mobile suits are made for dueling, after all.
