He’s long, long past any sentimentality about his “soul”. Musk is insane, but Zuckerberg is calculating. He wouldn’t show up on stage doing a salute unless he knows he stands to gain.
These people need the libertarian myth of the alpha male/ubermensch because otherwise, they’d have to face the fact the their success is really from inheritance and luck. Hard work and intelligence doesn’t take you very far when, statistically, your boss is a sociopath.
I think a lot ot these tech bros bear a great irony to the concept of survival of the fittest. They were absolutely the fittest to a period of the early 21st century where a middle class kid with enough brains and work ethic in the right place with the right idea and no ethics or hesitation could become incredibly wealthy and powerful. But they created a collapse or merely drastically amplified one that was coming instead of trying to prevent it. Or maybe even they are trying, but the traits that allowed them to rise to power made them unable to actually help.
But regardless, they cannot function in lean times. They’re the socioeconomic equivalent to hypercarnivores. It’s a great position when times are good for it, but it’s not a stable one. In lean times the fittest species are often small omnivorous scavengers who don’t use too much energy to sustain themselves
I give it 2 years depending on if he wants to keep his job or not and how little he thinks his soul is worth

Exactly. I’m saying if Trump makes the guy and the other billionaires do it and he wants to keep his job, he might do it.
