To the right-libertarian, the truest believer in free markets and capitalism in the abstract, a monopolistic corporation is a scandal. These sorts of middlemen are not part of the libertarian’s idealized conception of capitalism. Therefore this CEO would be preventing the smooth and morally good functioning of capitalism.

He’s basically an ancap ancaptain , which imo fits perfectly well on the right-wing side of things.

I think this guy has personal experiences due to some sort of spinal fusion seen in his Twitter banner. So, his politics may only be a part of his motive.

A good thing to remember is that an-caps believe that it is government regulations that mess up the market operating 'correctly', and that 'Obama-care' manipulated the 'free market' and forced healthcare insurance corporations onto the American public.

They can absolutely hold a grudge against 'corporatists and statists'. The fact of the matter is that regardless of his ideology, even if he was an an-cap this doesn't actually do anything. It's good and funny because CEO's are some of the most worthless people on the planet, but not exactly a project builder.
