Look, I'm glad the Trump Administration is doing all the right things, but I DO have a queasy feeling about Musk. Ask yourselves why he is involved in this mess at all? Money? Prestige? Power??? Just a narcissist?
Don't kick me in the nuggies, but what if BIDEN gave control of most of the Government to a Chinses millionaire? (Yeah, I know he probably did!!!!!)
So on a pragmatic basis Dems showed that they wanted to crush his companies. Survival for those companies required him to remove them from power.
Now if you watch him, wealth isn't a tool to make his life awesome. No yachts, sold all the houses.
Why strive to be so ridiculously wealthy? We can't know what's in someone's heart. We can see what they do. Everything he's done rolls back out to his publicly stated goal. To ensure the long term survival of the species.
We cannot survive a planet we pollute beyond repair. Reduce pollution. Autos and battery storage do that. But it needs to be ones that are profitable.
We can still be wiped out by an extinction level event. The only way humanity survives that is to have a significant population of the planet when it happens.
Rockets do that. They get us off the planet. But you need money to build them and, so you need profitable ones to make the big ones. Falcon/Starlink/Starship do that.
You need inexpensive flexible abor to help the people out there. Optimus does that.
But you need to make habitats to survive out there. Boring Company will dig those. Solar and batteries will power them. Optimus will help build and maintain them.
AI is a threat to humanity. Neuralink maybe give humanity parity with AI if it comes to a fight.
It sounds crazy, but it all hangs together. But there is only one country in the world where you could do all of this. So step one is to make sure this country doesn't devolve into the world of Demolition Man.
