Max Read interviews Ben Tarnoff and Quinn Slobodian about their book Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed, arguing Elon Musk’s business style and political interventions form a distinct ideology akin to Fordism. They outline how Musk’s methods and public projects coalesce into a coherent framework worth analyzing.

- Twitter's dismantled content moderation serves as their prime example of Muskism as a live experiment in radical deregulation
