Elon didn’t start a new social network, he took over Twitter. You don’t need to start a new city, you can take over existing ones by just moving there en masse and voting for your candidates. You don’t even need 44b. This is hard to do, but it’s easier than moving all the intellectual capital out of SF. Network effects are hard to disrupt.

The idea of transforming cities by strategically relocating and voting en masse is intriguing. It's a powerful reminder that grassroots movements can shape society without astronomical budgets. Changing a city’s trajectory can be just as impactful as launching a new platform, sometimes even more.
