Jason Johnson: Elon Musk, the Zuckerbergs, the Thiels ‘Present Themselves Like Tony Stark’ But They’re Really Like Rick Sanchez of ‘Rick and Morty’

RUSH EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “You know, I love this concept, and I think it’s very important for Americans to understand. You can say all oligarchs are bad, which I think there’s a reasonable argument to be made. But these are not people. The Elon Musk, the zuckerbergs, the Peter Thiel’s. They’re not motivated by a long-term future and benevolence. They’re not trying to create universities and foundations where their name will carry on. In many respects, they’re nihilists. They think that humanity is over. They think the only way that we can transcend is through their brilliance. These guys present themselves like Tony stark, right? But they’re really more like Rick Sanchez and rick and morty. They’re. They’re sad, addicted people who may be brilliant in their own right, but you don’t want them running anything.”
