DarkStar189 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Ok I'm tired, I skimmed the article about the kids name, but did I miss the part about how to pronounce his name? "X Æ A-12 Musk". The hell am I looking at here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Musk is one of the ultra-rich who believe that they should be able to do whatever they like. He just happens to believe in a few things some of us would agree to, like taking the climate crisis seriously. But he's not on our side.

skillzdadirecta Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Here's a simple solution... allow him to reopen but make his company responsible for the healthcare and well being of all of the people who contract the virus that can be traced to his plant. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit up front that I am no Elon Musk biographer, but my general read is that he is an opinionated man child that has a fixed vision that involves space and little else. Has he said things in the past that suggest he cares more for money than Mars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, my take is that its not so much greed, as it is an all consuming ambition. laden with far too much ego. In other words, I think he has a singular vision of what he wants to achieve and sees any halt to it as a "myopic" resistance to his grand vision. It always seemed to me that his more terrestrial pursuits were simply engines to fuel his grander plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, at least when it comes to space exploration. The reason SpaceX exists is because when Musk went to Russia in the early 2000s to ask to buy a rocket to send a private probe to Mars, they laughed at him. Apparently that motivated him enough to create the company. Money has never been his primary goal with that company. I truly believe his singular goal is to make humanity a multiplanetary species. Tesla though? That's his personal money printing machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
