so this is fun. as you can see in the tweets at the start of the clip, elon musk believes in the "ADAM SMITH AND FREE MARKETS RULE, FUCK MARX AND DAS KAPITAL" mantra. but as chomsky notes, this is only said by ignorant buffoons who haven't actually read a line of smith
as chomsky goes on to explain, adam smith also wasn't a big fan of depraved ghouls like elon musk hyper-exploiting workers while sucking off the state's teat as part of a corporate-state complex , and all the while larping it off as the pinnacle of free market capitalism
elon musk's entire persona is artificially concocted to make it appear he's intelligent, self-reliant, a maverick risk-taker, when in reality he is the exact opposite of that: a useless, pathetic, vile parasite, as further detailed in this thread
