Someone must have told him about it last night because his most recent tweet sez:

"To all the socialists: the labour theory of value, posited by Marx, is total horseshit. Reality has disproven it again and again."

    Despite liberals best efforts, I have yet to see a capitalist turn a tree into a chair by only throwing money at it.

    They can also try thinking great ideas at it. Just have to really visualise that revolutionary (lol) new recliner design you thought up last night

    This is why programmers frequently end up in the weird conservative/liberal camp. It's the closest to 'if you can dream it you can do it' anyone can get while still laboring.

    That's also why these same people are obsessed with AI, because even the relatively simple labor of programming is too much for them

    If the money is coins and you throw them hard enough it’s kinda like water jet cutting

    Look if you can get a chair from that I'm willing to overlook the fact that throwing is labor
