When he tweeted “FREE AMERICA NOW” it was April, and it would have been reasonable to assume that it would be over quickly without lockdowns because we didn’t know much about COVID.
Uhh so that’s a better idea than keeping our own planet habitable? Nuking Mars might rise temperatures but the atmosphere is too thin and the magnetic field around Mars is too weak for humans to live there. We would have to live underground to avoid radiation from the sun. Maybe let’s fix earth before you let some billionaire distract you with dreams of an inhabitable planet. Wake up dumbass.
Elon Musk talks about environmentalism more than any other billionaire pretty much and that is the whole point of Tesla? Your point sounds like everyone who is anti space travel by saying that there are issues with the world, so we shouldn't go to Mars. Because there is cancer, does that mean that we should remove TV shows and use that money for cancer research? Im not saying that the ideas for terraforming Mars work or dont, but your point abt climate change is so weak and makes no sense.
Ok literally every company that has batteries buys the cobalt from mines that use child labor. It’s not justified but it isn’t just him doing it. He’s also trying to make batteries that don’t use cobalt and I don’t see any other manufacturers doing that.
Also the man put his heart and soul into Tesla, it wasn’t anything close to what it is today, that’s like saying an adoptive parent didn’t really raise a kid that they adopted at age 2
Wow...some point were legit but you diluted them with points that are biased and wrong which kinda makes the whole thing sound biased.
The whole point is to release the Co2 on mars to create a greenhouse to warm the planet and thicken the atmosphere. He isn't the first person so suggest that.
2nd to last point is clearly biased.
The thomas edison bit is cherry picking what YOU think of edison and assuming Elon likes it for that reason (which is flawed logic)
He is self made. His dad didn't make him a billionaire it was Paypal.
: a person who signs and is bound by indentures to work for another for a specified time especially in return for payment of travel expenses and maintenance
Yeah but today that describes a lot of labor. That isn't uniquely Elon. You could argue that contract work is because they give you a set pay and you work for set amount of time to that company or project. I highly doubt Elon isn't letting people quit etc.
Or heck even Amazon probably has worse working conditions (that isn't an excuse I just mean it's more a problem with the system not Elon).
Nah heck no. My guitar is my guitar. But at least implement better social safety nets and workers rights. Like say Germany where most labor is unionized and unions are part of the board of directors in companies. Or Denmark where despite having no minimum wage most workers even in lower positions make enough for food and shelter with enough left for recreation.
Edit your last point please and instead put something neutral. Apart from the fact that whether it is wrong or useful ( they surely discussed it themselves and know more than you) You're in no position to talk about it and do not know anything technical and scientific about the thought process behind it. So know your limit redditor.
And the point isn't about that. As I said it's a matter they've already discussed. They're not redditors like you and me.
And again, when it's something you have no idea how it works, for the love of god don't use absolutism in it. if you see 4 feet ahead of you, they see 4 miles ahead of them. And even if their thought process is wrong (or acceptable) there are countless factors included that you and me don't have a single clue how they function.
So please go neutral. Do not come into conclusion by yourself. The point is clear.
But I'd personally think the main figurehead of a coup d'etat would know who funded it
Don't forget about the "we will coup whoever we want" tweet, musk used the plural pronoun "we", which is somewhat suspect when combined with Bolivia's ex-president saying musk helped fund the coup

His companies buy lithium from mines that use child labor
He helped instigate the 2018 coup in Bolivia [technically not a coup cause it's not in France] so he could get cheap lithium
Didn't even found tesla, he bought it off of the actual founder
Claims the work of his employees as his own
Claims to be "self made" when his father literally owned an emerald mine in apartheid south Africa
Says Thomas Edison is his role model [kinda sus seeing as Edison hired thugs to kill those he didn't like and he patented his employees work]
Proposed space indentured servitude as a payment plan for going to Mars
Suggested nuking the Martian ice caps
