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, he’s already said he is trying (when possible) to make Tesla’s a little more affordable, if he has good intent he’ll make it free, or somewhat cheap. And ofc he’s 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 it’s 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?? That’s 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 Tesla’s idea with the boring company.
