From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not too dissimilar to Elon Musk really.
We have the same kind of rot, it's just that corporate layer somehow makes us think it's not the same as the corrupt bullshit in other countries. But it's not all that different.
Elon represents Elon, and he likes to hear himself talk. A government that represents a billion people should act a little differently than someone like him.
