I wonder how much was going to happen anyway from resource depletion/competition, and Musk's autism only accelerated its visibility. The bloated economy of consumerism/colonialism has reached the foothills of waste and uselessness just as climate change and efficiency-crowding are demanding more bureaucracy from inflated currencies. How fast and/or sly is the use of AI being applied either as Elon's pet brain (actual LLMs etc) or by default (the algorithmic land grab of business as usual). Project 2025 is the same old land grab but now without Democrats capable of pulling on the reins.
