Mia Wong: 我认为美国新自由主义体制塑造了埃隆·马斯克,并最终走向自我毁灭。特斯拉股票下跌,埃隆·马斯克的净资产也随之减少,这是件好事。新自由主义体制培养出了像特朗普和马斯克这样的掘墓人,最终导致自身的毁灭。 新自由主义并非简单的“缩小政府规模”,而是通过增加国家官僚机构来控制资本主义的反对力量。新自由主义的“自由主义”或“无政府资本主义”反对派实质上是受控的反对派,其目标并非减少国家权力,而是通过控制国家来创造市场。新自由主义者真正的信条是利用国家权力创造市场,并通过暴力手段塑造顺从的市场主体。 特斯拉的成功很大程度上依赖于国家干预创造的碳信用市场。特斯拉的利润很大一部分来自销售碳信用额度。特斯拉通过销售碳信用额度,使得其他汽车公司可以生产更低效的汽车,这不利于气候政策。国家创造的碳信用市场实际上赋予了埃隆·马斯克垄断地位。 特斯拉获得了巨额政府合同和补贴。科技公司通常依靠政府合同来维持盈利。特斯拉的汽车销售也受益于电动汽车的税收优惠政策。美国50%的消费支出来自高收入群体,这影响了美国的消费文化。 埃隆·马斯克是持续的泡沫经济和资产凯恩斯主义的产物。美国宏观经济政策和微观市场干预共同造就了埃隆·马斯克及其公司。特斯拉的成功建立在对全球工人的剥削之上。新自由主义的政策最终导致财富高度集中,并引发了资本对国家的控制。要阻止像埃隆·马斯克这样的人,必须彻底打破寡头和亿万富翁的权力基础。为了拯救世界和民主,必须将权力和财富掌握在创造这些财富的工人手中。 James Stout: 新自由主义并非简单的“缩小政府规模”,而是通过增加国家官僚机构来控制资本主义的反对力量。新自由主义的“自由主义”或“无政府资本主义”反对派实质上是受控的反对派,其目标并非减少国家权力,而是通过控制国家来创造市场。新自由主义者真正的信条是利用国家权力创造市场,并通过暴力手段塑造顺从的市场主体。 特斯拉的成功很大程度上依赖于国家干预创造的碳信用市场。特斯拉的利润很大一部分来自销售碳信用额度。特斯拉通过销售碳信用额度,使得其他汽车公司可以生产更低效的汽车,这不利于气候政策。国家创造的碳信用市场实际上赋予了埃隆·马斯克垄断地位。 特斯拉获得了巨额政府合同和补贴。科技公司通常依靠政府合同来维持盈利。Cybertruck 的销售部分受益于针对特定车辆的税收抵免政策。
