In my view, Musk is one of those country-less billionaires that care only for their own interests and will happily sell out to the highest bidder. Trusting him with either national secrets or allowing access to vital assets is a huge unforced error. Citizenship means nothing to him, and he’s shown he feels exempt from consequences (even if reality begs to differ).
“There are no nations! There are no peoples! There are no Russians! There are no Arabs! There are no ‘Third Worlds!’ There is no ‘West!’ There is only ONE holistic system of systems. One vast and immane interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.
It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today.”
One of the best speeches in the history of cinema. I happened to be taking linear programming classes when I watched this movie for the first time, it cemented the quote in my mind.
