💬 Dave Winer … 🔗 I’m 99.9% sure, as crazy as it sounds, when Musk is finished with his software project, you will have to use X for everything related to the government. To pay taxes, to receive health care, to renew your passport. And if you try to arrest him, he’ll stop paying interest on the US debt, and that will be the end of the dollar as the reserve currency of the world. He won’t just control the US government, he will control the world economy.

🖇️ I think Rushkoff said it best.

When two rocks hit each other both rocks lose parts of themselves in the battle.
Its loud and hard but even the winning rock is bruised and chipped.
But water flows over rock.
In time it erodes the rock to nothing and keeps flowing.
Maybe soft overcomes hard by understanding the importance of grace, flow and connection.
