MixedJacobinConfident and brisk without ever feeling hurried ... It’s a well-written, sharp book ... Enlightening but ultimately limited in its approach to understanding the pathologies of the present. It would benefit from situating Musk in the broader nest of institutions and practices that have allowed him to flourish and discussing his relationship to the broader right. Given all that, I found Muskism more suggestive than revelatory and was left feeling the definitive left-wing critique has yet to be written ... Muskism makes for bracing reading, and its brevity and subject matter ought to earn it a wide audience. This would be a good thing since, as Slobodian and Tarnoff show, his philosophy and its impact are corrosive.
