Muskism

Whether this means a new announcement about SpaceX’s Martian plans is to be madec^([sic]) or is just another Muskism remains to be seen.

Trumpism has evolved completely into Muskism, and it needs neither Trump nor Musk to wreak its havoc.

The metaverse is at once an illustration of and a distraction from a broader and more troubling turn in the history of capitalism. The world’s techno-billionaires are forging a new kind of capitalism: Muskism. Mr. Musk, who likes to troll his rivals, mocked Mr. Zuckerberg’s metaverse. But from missions to Mars and the moon to the metaverse, it’s all Muskism: extreme, extraterrestrial capitalism, where stock prices are driven less by earnings than by fantasies from science fiction.

Muskism might get people to Mars, but as a “free planet,” will the Martians choose to stay the course?
