Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”

X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

    Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that. Abolishing IP laws won’t fix capitalism.

    There are other solutions for that. Most of them as unrealistic as abolishing IP laws. But we could try universal basic income as a stopgap.

      I think UBI would actually solve a lot of issues, the creative communities’ financial struggle being one of them.
