From a systems perspective, Musk didn't just become a "villain"; he simply removed the *Cooling System* to overclock the engine.
"Sustainability" acts as a heat sink. It dissipates the entropy generated by rapid scaling.
Here in Japan, we have "Shinise" (companies lasting >1000 years).
Their OS is designed for *"Thermal Management"* rather than maximum clock speed.
They prioritize "Cooling" (Rei/Gratitude/Maintenance) over "Heating" (Infinite Growth).
Musk just dismantled the radiator to squeeze out 1% more speed.
We are no longer watching a business strategy; we are observing a machine entering pure *Thermal Runaway*.
(Edit: Thinking about it further, this also signals a shift in Tesla's OS.
The mission "to accelerate sustainable energy" was a powerful heuristic to gather talent when they were the underdog.
Now that dominance is achieved, "Sustainability" is no longer a fuel but a constraint on "Scale or Die."
He didn't just become a villain; he simply optimized the algorithm for the post-growth phase.)

Not related to the article specifically but at the bottom they have a "add as preferred source on Google" which is a new concept to me.
