Major leftist podcaster stops just short of calling for Elon Musk’s execution as a traitor. By ZeroHedge.

Scott Galloway holds massive significance in podcasting, generating approximately $15–20 million annually from his media empire, which reaches millions globally.

What began as a familiar critique of Silicon Valley’s billionaire class quickly took a darker turn.

Galloway compared Musk to aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh, whose sympathies toward Nazi Germany before America’s entry into World War II remain a controversial chapter in U.S. history.

Galloway then invoked Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the American couple executed in 1953 after being convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union.

“We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall,” Galloway said, before insisting Musk should be held to the same standards as other traitors.

Galloway stopped short of explicitly calling for Musk’s execution, but bringing up two spies who were put to death while calling him a traitor was a striking comparison.

Billionaires and nine figure types have more money than they can possibly spend on themselves. Is it fair that they have more than others? Perhaps not, but that’s not what matters to me.

People who have accumulated large amounts of money are responsible for allocating capital. They are stewards of vast amounts of what is really collective wealth a society has generated.

The great part of this is that more effective stewards — like Elon Musk — accumulate the most capital. That means that society maximizes the benefits from capital. I’d rather Elon Musk in charge of $1 trillion than, say, a bunch of bureaucrats.

Alternative to capitalism: Imagine if the dumbest, most ideological, or most corrupt people were in charge of allocating the world’s capital. Oh, I see, that’s the way modern Western government is going, and third world government has always been.
