Elon Pokes Fun at Our WEF 'Overlords,' As Klaus Schwab Worries About Need to 'Rebuild Trust'

The elites are meeting again in Davos, Switzerland, at the meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). So you know that there will be insane and ridiculous things that they say and do while they are there. But remember, they are our betters, so you're supposed to be respectful and just accept what they say, no matter how silly it might be.

As we already reported, Javier Milei didn't quite go along with that edict. He scolded them, saying the collectivist view of the world had wrecked his country and was now putting the Western world in "danger."

"Do not surrender to the advance of the state. The state is not the solution. The state is the problem itself. You are the true protagonists of this story! Long live freedom, damn it!" — Javier Milei. pic.twitter.com/QEt1XoGOSu

He declared the Western world was in danger because it was being co-opted by views that lead to socialism and poverty, and no one could speak more to how badly that will turn out than his country, Argentina. He said the leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for collectivism and that's never the solution to the problems; rather, it is the "root cause."

Milei also urged people not to "surrender to the advance of the state," saying that the state is not the solution, "the state is the problem itself." "Long live freedom, damn it!" he declared.

But that was likely the only moment of sanity at the event, and I'm willing to bet that they aren't absorbing what he's saying because they appear wedded to pushing the collectivist approach. Indeed, Klaus Schwab seems upset that folks may not trust what they are doing.

New: Klaus Schwab Opens The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting By Speaking About The Importance Of ‘Rebuilding Trust’:

“There’s a fundamental need to embody trusteeship, which means to care for the greater good.”, Schwab says.

He said that there was a "fundamental need to embody trusteeship, which means to care for the greater good," and that they needed to "rebuild trust."

Interesting choice of words. Trusteeship implies you have some responsibility and or control over us when we are a free people — you don't have such a relationship over us, except in your mind. And when people use the term "greater good," one thinks Communism and/or someone is about to try to sell you something you don't want.

Elon Musk didn't think much of what Schwab had to say; he's called him out in the past.

The real issue is that Klaus wants to be emperor of Earth. He certainly dresses for the part!

And the policies that seem to emerge from this gathering don’t seem to make for an exciting future.

Musk mocked him, saying Schwab wants to be "emperor of the Earth," and his policies don't seem to make for an exciting future. The good thing is Klaus sounds worried.

Elon and others also had fun with this moment at the forum.

Wow, I didn’t know Elizabeth Warren was at Davos

"Wow, I didn't know Elizabeth Warren was at Davos," Musk joked, referring to a person who went around, blowing on each of the leaders, which I think is meant as a blessing.

What happened to COVID fear? Social distancing? Talk about another "rules for thee" moment. It's cool, as long as they say it is. Yet, they were already talking about the next pandemic to come while they were there.

No wonder the WEF participants were all atwitter, worried about Musk and X — he's willing to call them out.

Is this more or less crazy than this moment Tucker mocked last year?
