Here's the segment:

He seemed pretty coherent to me. At times clearly thinking faster than his mouth can keep up but really no big deal.
Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI. And how the CEOs he knows are "livid" about how totally useless AI is even after they jumped in boots and all, lol
Maybe he sprayed himself with a bit too much of that fentanyl laced cat piss.
If you do not get the reference... he previously said that he'd like to be able to dispatch drones that would do that to basically anyone who annoys him.
Somehow more camp and pathetic than an actual comic book supervillain.
So typical of these clickbait headlines. Every time I see a headline about how someone melted down, it turns out to be someone who sputtered for half a moment in the middle of an argument. Same for any headline talking about how someone was “absolutely eviscerated” in a debate. Setting aside the metaphorical license, it’s always just a case where their opponent made a good point somewhere during an argument. There might be no reaction from anyone. Just whoever agrees with that point will say “yes he was eviscerated.”
Fucking clickbait.
I wish I were as confident as he is...
He's not. It's a thinly veiled attempt to pump crypto.
How does this accomplish that?
If wealth is in crypto maybe they think it can't be found to be taxed
It's also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over.
I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things.
For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.
Does he even know what that means...
I think so. He meant the capitalists, who are his customers, want to own their means of production. Not rent it from their competitors or suppliers.
First time I've seen that phrase used that way but it works.
It works because those are the one's we need to seize those means from...
It does indeed! He's ranting about a capital tax too, where he just means 'the cost of tokens'. He's flailing wildly.
Worked for a company that was using GCP for the entire infrastructure just bc no wanted their product to be touching even with 10’ pole with Amazon.
Capitalists want to own the means of production, and currently mostly do. So he does.
“Open sourced American” - this sounds like a double negative
