They talking copyrights or all ip? I would think Musk has some appreciation for patents since his companies, y’know, actually make stuff. Without patents, the cars could be cloned and sold without Tesla’s involvement.
My hunch is - neither. "Delete all IP" is a clown show and they know it. It doesn't help to bring some sanity to the grotesquely overextended "IP" extravaganza.
Looking forward to being able to rebadge junkyard Pontiac Azteks as Teslas legally, I think with a can of chrome spray paint I can find some customer overlap.
Criminal prosecutions under § 54 are handled by federal attorneys acting on behalf of the government, regardless whether a potentially aggrieved company is still in business or not.
Smells like utopian delusional spitballing anarchist syncretism that benefits some people while harming others. This is just more anecdotal but consistent evidence underscoring rich people aren't anything close to benevolent, historians, wise, or philosophers.
The irony is that people call Musk a capitalist, but at the same time turn up their noses when he expresses anti-capitalist ideas. IP law has indeed become a tool for "intellectual monopoly capitalism" that concentrates knowledge in few hands, acts as barriers to market entry (especially for smaller, more innovative companies), and encourages rent-seeking behavior, misusing litigation rather than developing new ideas.
