i'm not sure there is a reasonable argument against the notion Tesla and SpaceX's success have been net positives for the species. especially when one recalls the realities that preceded that success; in the midst of the sixth mass extinction with a rapidly warming world environmentalism was largely viewed as the direct enemy of capitalism and corporations used their resources to stamp out rather than embrace green enterprises + NASA's budget sliced to a historical low under the Obama administration with development in space flight stalled out while activity in it was actively regressing.
Tesla and SpaceX did not exactly solve the issues of multi-generational ecological catastrophe and the species collectively turning its back on our only viable long-term future among the stars, and whatever their successes Elon is only a part of them, but they are both certainly integral parts of that (hopefully) ongoing story. personal opinions on him are mostly distraction from that much more important story.

A lot of people forget the biggest perk of starting on 3rd base is you can take risks because the risks don't destroy your life. Do you know how many people would be risking startups or trying their hands and building a business if they knew they could fall back on their family money no matter what?
That alone gives TONS of opportunity that most of the world will never see because they can't risk it.

"Well, fuck this planet. Capitalism ensured it could not transition to survive in the name of greed. Good thing it also gave us a solution for the long-term viability of the species in the stars! SpaceX to the rescue." Originally Posted by Andalusian girls

Granted he is a really good business man but there are a lot of really good business people or people with really good ideas that are never able to get anywhere with their ideas or businesses.

Pretty sure the employees are placed on "non-work" status but are still paid for 3 months, avoiding this issue. Originally Posted by AoE

isn't this the same technology that has had a 98% fatality rate in the monkeys they were testing on? From what I heard they aren't even close to having it safe for humans.
Edit: I imagine the same people excited about this technology are the same people pushing the conspiracy theory that Bill Gates was implanting chips in people with the COVID vaccine.
