It seems like there are two possible reasons he could've made a statement like this:
- He is utterly detached from reality and how the world works, shocking for someone who is at such an elevated position in industry. Borderline disabled.
- He is stating this dishonestly, not because he believes it but to signal to other right-wing reactionary zealots in his peer group that he would support dismantling the most critical institutions in his society in order to enrich members of his tiny class at the expense of everyone else.
You ever wonder if it is a specific ...I'll call it "business" culture for lack of a better term, like the one around posting on this site, that leads you to have to give credit to these people presuming good faith?
Its almost like to exist in the tech space is to cultivate an intentional naivety about how power works and who has it that is being exploited to run cover as truly bad actors accomplish their goals.

I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
