Great is Musk!
By Archer Hong Qian
Throughout history, many extraordinary figures have driven major societal and civilizational transformations by constructing, deconstructing, or reconstructing rules. They typically share five common qualities: Passion, Vision, Mission, Expansion, and Action.
Yes, only those who dare and are capable of rebuilding the rules can become the exemplars leading the new era of global symbiosis—and Musk is precisely such an outstanding figure!
Philosophical Dimension: Challenging the Old Order, Shaping New Rules
Every major transformation in human history has been led by “Rule Rebuilders”—those who not only challenge existing social, economic, and technological systems but also establish new rule-based frameworks that serve as the foundation for a new era.
- In antiquity: Figures such as Laozi, Siddhartha Gautama, Socrates, Confucius, and Jesus challenged traditional thought systems, laying the groundwork for future philosophy and social rules.
- In modern times: Martin Luther reformed religion, John Locke redefined the boundaries of government, Adam Smith reshaped market principles, and Einstein broke through classical physics, driving the expansion of human cognitive freedom.
- In the contemporary era: Milei is implementing Symbionomics reforms in Argentina, while Musk is attempting to reconstruct fundamental rules by enabling cost reduction and empowerment in energy, transportation, space exploration, and artificial intelligence, as well as reshaping information flow, political economy, subject-object relations, left-right ideologies, and the unification of East-West binary oppositions.
Under the framework of Intersubjective Symbiosism, a true global leader of the new era must not only possess technology or capital but must also have the ability to reshape relationships—between humans, between humans and AI, and between humans and the universe.
Musk’s uniqueness lies in the fact that he does not merely challenge existing rules—he actively rebuilds new ones!
Economic Dimension: Musk’s Rule Rebuilding vs. Traditional Capitalism
(1) The Imbalance of Traditional Capitalism
The current global economic system is dominated by Wall Street financial capitalism and state-intervention capitalism, both of which suffer from major flaws:
- Over-financialization, where wealth flows to financial oligarchs rather than the real economy.
- Fusion of capital and state power, creating a “rent-seeking” economic structure.
- Stagnation in industrial innovation, where profits come from government subsidies or monopolies rather than technological breakthroughs.
(2) Musk’s Economic Model: Decentralized, High-Risk, High-Return Creative Destruction
- SpaceX: Rebuilding the aerospace industry → Previously entirely controlled by governments, Musk’s commercial model broke NASA’s closed system.
- Tesla: Reshaping the automotive industry → Traditional automakers rely on supply chain advantages, whereas Musk drives electrification, autonomous driving, and energy system restructuring.
- Starlink: Decentralizing the internet → Enabling information flow independent of national control, achieving true information equality.
- Neuralink + xAI: Redefining human-machine interaction → Making AI a tool for human augmentation rather than an opaque black box.
Musk’s approach is not about improving old models but about rebuilding the fundamental architecture from the ground up—which aligns with the core vision of Symbionomics.
Technological Dimension: Breaking Path Dependency, Ushering in a New Era
True technological breakthroughs come from those who dare to abandon path dependency.
(1) The “Mild Innovation” of Traditional Tech Giants
While Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon have driven technological progress, they mostly optimize within existing paradigms rather than completely reconstructing them:
- Google’s search model is still based on advertising economics.
- Apple’s innovation remains confined to a closed ecosystem.
- Microsoft’s AI development is still subject to capital market constraints.
(2) Musk’s “Paradigm Shift”
- SpaceX: Completely broke the government monopoly on space exploration, pioneering reusable rockets and Mars colonization.
- Tesla: More than an automaker, it is an energy ecosystem company, redefining the car-grid-energy relationship.
- Starlink: Ensuring global information freedom, reducing the digital divide, and potentially becoming a core node of MindsNetworking.
- xAI: Advocating for decentralized AI coexisting with humanity, breaking away from capital-controlled AI models like OpenAI and DeepMind.
Musk’s technological philosophy is not just about improving existing technologies but about redefining the very existence of technology—which is precisely the paradigm shift required for the global symbiosis era.
The Future Global Symbiosis Order: The Key Role of MindsNetworking
If the era of global symbiosis is not to rely solely on Superhero Narratives, then what is the real solution?
The answer lies in:
MindsNetworking + Collective Intelligence + Decentralized Techno-Humanism.
MindsNetworking will serve as the global trust architecture and resource optimization system, transitioning human civilization from competition to symbiosis through:
(1) Economic Transformation: How MindsNetworking Replaces “Rent-Seeking Economies”
- Decentralized trust mechanisms → Capital, labor, and technology flow based on symbiotic rules, not dictated by states or financial oligarchs.
- Smart contract-based economies → Ensuring fair wealth distribution, preventing capital from excessively accumulating among rent-seeking elites.
(2) Technological Decentralization: How MindsNetworking Prevents Tech Oligopolies
- AI + Blockchain securing data sovereignty → Individuals and communities control data rather than governments or corporations.
- Open algorithm ethics → Ensuring AI serves the collective rather than private corporate interests.
(3) Governance Innovation: How MindsNetworking Achieves True Decentralization
- Real-time consensus decision-making → Replacing bureaucratic inefficiencies with transparent, fair governance.
- The Global Symbiosism Charter → Shifting global governance from state-centered diplomacy to wisdom co-creation among intersubjective entities.
Through MindsNetworking, we can unleash the full potential of collective intelligence + decentralized techno-humanism, making global symbiosis a reality!
Conclusion: The Future of Global Symbiosis Cannot Rely on Individuals Alone
From the perspectives of philosophy, economics, technology, and governance, Musk meets the criteria of a global symbiosis era exemplar because he:
✅ Challenges existing rules, rather than merely improving old ones.
✅ Creates new economic models, instead of relying on traditional capital structures.
✅ Drives technological paradigm shifts, rather than settling for incremental innovation.
✅ Exhibits leadership beyond national boundaries, rather than depending on institutional survival.
However, the future of global symbiosis should not rely solely on superhero-like individuals—it must be built upon collective intelligence, MindsNetworking, and decentralized techno-humanism to co-create a truly intersubjective symbiosis (Intersubjective Symbiosism) world!
