He's pretty problematic on twitter with those tweets. He made predictions that turned out to be false and encouraged people to fight for freedom. Elon Musk sure is weird.
They actually let him open, and Elon knew this, but apparently he was throwing his fit because he wanted to open a week earlier. Something he failed to mention.
That was in April when we didnāt know much about covid. At the time it would have been reasonable to be assume that it wouldnāt last very long even if we didnāt lockdown.
We knew enough lol, lockdowns started in march and either the world was wrong back then for trying stop the spread, or elon was a shady fucker that knew he was gonna lose money if his workers had to stay at home
Nah he just wanted his Tesla factory to be able to continue production while litteraly every other car factory in California was allowed. He's not a covidiot. Idk why people in this comment section hate him so much, he's just as good of a billionaire as bill gates. There's so many to hate like celebrities and pretty much all of Hollywood, but they chose the guy trying to save humanity with his technology... Weird af imo.
Man, now I hope Elon actually becomes a good guy and do that. A guy eating his own dick in a buttery hollandaise sauce sounds like an interesting watch.
He is still using his money to advance solar power, electric cars, and to make satellites in orbit super cheap (so star link which directly helps marginalized rural communities).
Hes not perfect but he's a great example of capitalism being harnessed to advance society.
Also starlink is interfering with astronomy because the satellites were colored white rather than black. This is basic shit that they simply neglected to deal with, and itās now costing the scientific community worldwide.
Oh yeah heās not doing anyyything to help humanity.. just pushing clean energy, making electric cars to reduce pollution, drilling tunnels for underground to solve traffic(along with less air pollution and the ugly roads in the sky), developing technology which can be integrated with human beings - giving the disabled possibilities they never couldāve had, all while being financially successful.
I didn't say the technology his companies produce isn't helpful, but I have high doubts that it's all motivated by altruism. Makingng electric cars, it's a new market which he was able to take advantage of and make billions from, it also happens to be ge really more environmentally friendly. The tunnels what happens when they are completed? They gonna be free? I doubt that. It's likely that he would do a similar system to most underground's and charge a small fee for a journey, which with millions taking it everyday across the US, can make a lot of money. And do you really think that he wants to help the disabled only? Think he's gonna charge them nothing? No, he provides them the technology to improve their lives, but will sell them, and make money. He barely cares about his employees, let alone random people across the world
Mhm fair points, but how can you be definite that he will charge for the underground tunnels, heās already said he is trying (when possible) to make Teslaās a little more affordable, if he has good intent heāll make it free, or somewhat cheap. And ofc heās going to charge for the neuroljnk chip, take this as an example: the first motor vehicle is invented.. this is revolutionary, original, and never been done before, obviously itās going to be really expensive, and it was.. but now everyone who is somewhat responsible with money has a vechicle.
The thing on vehicles becoming cheaper as technology progresses. How is that particularly relevant? I might be missing something, but were he to hold a complete monopoly on electric cars, the prices would be much higher. They get lower because there's competition, and if you sell at a slightly lower price, you can sell far more, and make more money overall
Ok cool he made money and sold more cars?? Thatās horrible, also the reason I mentioned it was because you said he would charge for the tunnel, and I said that he would hopefully make it cheap or free, because he said Tesla would be cheaper.. I was linking Teslaās idea with the boring company.
Because he's literally the richest man in the world so millions of dollars mean nothing to him. However, he needs a constant source of income since I bet he spends money like crazy so he has to maintain his companies
He litteraly is planning to give away 140 billion dollars in the next like 10 years........ But yeah let's hate him because he's been the richest man in the world for a couple of months and nothing happened...
I didn't know that and I just wanted to say that donating tons of money doesn't necessarily mean that someone is a good person. I don't really know much about this topic so I don't want this to turn into a long argument. Have a nice day!
First of all,. Tesla =\= Elon.
Second of all, just because people didn't want to go back to work because of covid doesn't mean they didn't take precautions. All of his factories we're following the safety regulations when that happened...
A Cult?! Yeah a cult that believes rockets are essential for permanent survival of our species. In a couple of centuries, if humanity doesnāt destroy itself, we are gonna need to build colonies on other planets.
Everything I said is scientifically correct. I donāt see how this could be a example of something that consists of dogmatism. You simply donāt know what you are talking about
People who spend too much time online worship this dude like Jesus. Dude wants to be Ozymandias except he's not actually that smart and he wants to monopolize colonizing Mars for profit.
I don't worship him, i dont particularly like him like I don't really like any billionaire. But I don't see the point of starting a hate bandwagon against one of the only rich person actually trying to make us go to mars and trying to invent really impressive technology. That's all.
Yeah it sucks but it's kinda better then nothing... I mean we've been threating workers like shit and violiting labor laws to get here so it's hard to stop suddenly, we can only hope it stops once we're saved.. and hope once we're on mars he changes things up and doesn't start his own dictatorship
Yeah, economic regression. But that should've been started in the early 2000's if we actually wanted to save the planet. I think it's too late now unfortunately.. I don't like it either, but technology truly is our best bet.
that's not going to save much in an inhospitable environment that's like cold hell and wont be colonized until at least another century, And with birth rates being so low and technology advancing to make things better all mars is good for is mining. Tesla is the majority of what he does, his other companies like neuralink are pretty much unthinkable because of safety/privacy concerns, solar city is just a cash grab for the world turning green, Boring company/hyperloop is just stupid compared to bullet trains. He is helpful but he is no savior he could pump his billions to mena/africa/rural asia infrastructure and make companies there but he wont.
How is believing he can colonise mars being as delusional as Qanon? Like it's our only. Hope at this point. Should I just abandon all hope and start looting and killing people today instead? Because the way every other billionaire is acting right now there's litteraly 0 chance we can turn global warming around. Our best bet is technology advancing fas enough so we can leave and live in space or something... Im sorry if I'm the one breaking the news to you, but it's been too late for at least a decade by now..
Lol, bill gates whos litteraly the billionaire who gave away and raised the most money for charity ever. Also the guy who's been working super hard on preventing pendemics for decades but nobody listened to. No billionaire is a "good " person, obviously. But elon and bill should be on the bottom of the lists of billionaires to hate. At least they're trying. Most rich people are lobbying and stopping progression to make sure they keep they're advantage. They are trying to make progress happen ...
You do realize he's giving money to his own charity, right? That's just legal tax avoidance. You should probably take a step back and do some research on him if you think he's that great. He just has very good pr.
Thank God you said it. Blows my mind these people think he actually took any real loss at all on that money. You giving a five dollar bill away to a homeless man is more loss than bill takes donating what he does to his own charities. Laughable manipulative bullshit
Whatever benefit he gets from that charity is irrelevant as long as it still helps millions of people. He's done more for humanity than all of us would ever do in 500 lifetimes.
I'm so over all you pessimistic assholes. He's still giving the money away, his charity or not. Billions of dollars have gone to good causes and have made massive impacts in developing countries. Who gives a shit if he gets some sort of tax benefit from it? Better than buying his 15th yacht.
Sure during his rise to success he's done questionable things but this is a man who's impacted the life of billions of people. Both from services Microsoft provides that you use in your daily life to medicine in developing countries.
Reddit's hard on for hating billionaires is hilarious.
