Eh, idk, there's a reason they say the petite bourgeois are the main base of fascism. For them it's not just about the money, they want to have a who psycho individualist society where they get to play little feudal barons and get jerked off as the smartest, bestest person ever for it. The billionaires, while scum, usually have a somewhat better understanding of how things actually work (Elon and other weirdo tech billionaires are basically petite bourgeois who became haute bourgeois and kept the brainworms, the actual old money is more savvy). So they may be more down for striking a deal that lets them keep a little chunk of their privilege in exchange for avoiding the inevitable.
yeah but that ignores that the other main base for fascism is the people hired to beat up trade unionists
the brownshirts weren't a bunch of small business owners
it's the ideology mafioso hired to beat up peasant organisers and trade unionists came up with
Because there are a lot of them. The billionaire types also all supported fascism, they just couldn't be the main base of any movement because there were too few of them and they don't get their hands dirty. They just finance the rise of fascism.
I would imagine in any type of bourgeoisie/communist alliance Elon wouldn’t be allowed to join.
