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.”

    Yes, I have.

    But how exactly does getting rid of IP laws since that exactly? Because that’s what’s being proposed.

      Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that. Abolishing IP laws won’t fix capitalism.

      There are other solutions for that. Most of them as unrealistic as abolishing IP laws. But we could try universal basic income as a stopgap.

        I think UBI would actually solve a lot of issues, the creative communities’ financial struggle being one of them.

          Weird. You called me evil when I suggested it as the correct way to pay creatives and everyone else. Maybe your problem with my argument is your own reading comprehension.
