This is an example of corporate terrorism sponsored by our own government. Elon Musk loves to see himself as the villain in Ready Player One. And this is not a joke you can look it up. Big tech is waging war against American citizens, and no longer do we have any control of our government, and the Democrats will not save us. The electoral processes will not save us. This is just hard for some people to accept, that's why things have to fall apart before they get a clue. Unfortunately, those that are wiser are going to feel the flames first.
Life is "simpler" when you realize governments (and hence the State) are just bullies that exercise their power through physical violence or economical violence.
Governments aren't fundamentally bad. Having a governing body along with laws and regulations is a good thing when done beneficently. For example, government is responsible for access to public education, libraries, banking, worker safety, and hospitals - all of which are objectively good things to have as a society. The problems usually occur when some individuals have more power/influence than others to choose what the government does, which is what's happening in much of the world right now.
