"One other thing: You can trust Bannon to adhere to his code. In Dungeons & Dragons, Bannon would be lawful-evil. Musk, on the other hand, is chaotic-evil. He changes his mind every five minutes," Last writes.

For Musk, climate change is the most important issue in the world. Or fertility decline. Or AI. Or the woke mind virus. Musk is one of those guys who insists that whatever his current obsession is, it's the alpha and omega. Musk believed that Twitter is dominated by "censorship," so he bought it and then rolled out the most heavy-handed regime of actual censorship this side of Beijing. He called Bari Weiss a freedom fighter and then unpersoned her a couple weeks later. He's a 53-year-old serial impregnator who may or may not use ketamine and possibly spends a lot of time cheating on videogames so that he can represent himself as the ninth-best Diablo IV player in the world.

I could sit down at the Outback Steakhouse and split a Bloomin' Onion with Steve Bannon. He's a bad guy, sure. But he's a bad guy who sees himself as the hero in the movie. You can understand his motivations and, if you squint, you can make out what a nontoxic version of them might look like.

Musk is just a neurodivergent Bond villain.
