Putting aside the issue of Elon Musk, this is the most interesting line to me: The distribution of public goodwill is an economy not of labor but of attention.

I think a lot of us have experienced this in the context of tech support from Google or some other algorithmically driven giant; something goes wrong and the only recourse is Twitter. I really don’t want to live in a world of arbitrary and unappealable actions by monopolists, with my only recourse being a social media appeal.

Yet that’s the obvious trend.
