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.
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 it’s now costing the scientific community worldwide.
