MuddyWatersResearch(@muddywatersre):Free market capitalism is how the shittiest trader at DE Shaw became one of the world’s richest people - by leaving to start a business in his garage selling books over something called “the internet”. Or how a Harvard student started a business that kicked the ass of the incumbent, MySpace. Or how an immigrant took over a struggling EV half company to make it one of the most valuable companies on the planet. And then figured out how to launch satellites and astronauts at a fraction of the bloated incumbent’s cost. Saying we don’t have true free market capitalism because we have oligarchs is a bumper sticker slogan, but not reality.

@muddywatersre The current system has long stopped to be a free market capitalism, and removing oligarchs from power and retaking some of their assets is not communism. To the contrary, it enables to restore free markets with a level playing field and also democracy.
