Capitalism is doomed but not because of being hobbled by government. It is doomed by its very design. It demands more tomorrow than today and more the day after. It depends on unending growth and has no ability to handle physical limits such as are becoming more obvious all the time in our warming world.
There are 3.5 times as many people on the planet today as there were when I was born in 1950 and the growth has not stopped. Throughout this very short 74 year period, every business has wanted to increase business, the vast majority of human beings have wanted more of everything, whether it be merely enough to eat or another car, or a flight to who knows where for fun.
As can be seen by checking the NOAA atmospheric monitoring site at Mauna Loa, HI, there is not the slightest sign of moderation in the relentless increase in CO2, methane following right along. This in spite of the shift to solar power, the increase in EV's on the road and all the pledges of governments to reduce CO2.
Musk and friends are in a dream of power that has no connection with reality. Your article establishes that all they want is a more efficient, unrestricted capitalism. They are cheerleading acceleration of an economic system that is rapidly approaching the terminal fate that is inherent in it. Judging by the American rush to huge pickup trucks and SUV's, Americans share the delirium.

How blind can these movers and shakers be?
