Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”
X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

... Delete... all... IP law?
So... just literally make all piracy legal, switch all gaming and tv show and movie production/consumption... to an optional donation model?
Fuck it, why not.
I am both an avid pirate and have a degree in econ, wrote papers as an undergrad on how to potentially reform the DMCA... and uh yeah, at this point yeah no one has any fucking idea how any thing works, everyone is an idiot, sure fuck it, blow it all up, why not.
Yeah except you know it isn't going to be that
They're going to go "yeah but not like that"
They'll just remove consumer protections and make it so you own even less and if you try to fight it, you'll have the full weight of the court system to make you poor
Is musk supports it, that's exactly what he's hoping will happen. The rich will be able to take advantage of it and the poor will either stay the same or get worse
This, he means abolish IP Law in terms of consumer protections.
also jam in there protections for AI training so they don’t have to deal with those pesky rent-seeking “authors”
Abolish IP for billionaires… not for the poor.
Free for people that already can afford anything.
