How many fucking billionsaires are there

who just sit on their cash and make money

and then there's Elon who's actively meming it up with the public

doing crazy PR stunts to showcase the technology he's giving to the world

openly encouraging a space race with Bezos

Selling flamethrowers to fund his mining company

Like, holy shit, what a legend? He's definitely the most PR-clean man as rich as he is?

aside from Bill Gates

but Musk is much more active

face it, this is why billionaires don't do anything

They know people won't like it, cuz "muuh you're rich you could've done MORE"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Musk also said on twitter he'd committ money to fixing flint's water

I'm sure he could do it, or at least rig something helpful up

Tesla powered filtering system

To be fair, this was an actual diver there, who is criticism him for what the driver views as a publicity stunt who had no actual desire to help and risked just getting in the way.

Now, Elon also didn't have time, so he did the best he could in short order is the other side of the coin.

Yeah

But at least this was a dude on the ground and not some high and might media who also was not there.

My guess is that someone tapped musk on the shoulder and was like

hey you hear about this

and musk was like "Do we have any schematics lying around that could be rigged into something useful for these kids?"

"if so go get to work"

g ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was he getting this much flak before he made his comments disparaging the MSM?

i like that he wants to turn his rocket tech into a public transportation system

the hyperloop could do LA to Frisco in 45 minutes

yea

its hype

I do know he was recieveing criticism on his cars and company.

But people loved him anyway, especially due to his strides in rocketry

Like come on

the roadsters are cool, if the hyperloop works it'll be fucking awesome

the rockets are becoming routine and he's happy about that

cause routine means it's the norm and that means you can keep pushing the envelope

Yeah, Im not a fan of disturbing people doing what I consider impossible.

yeah

Well, I only learnt that recently so.

But well, on second thought, maybe see what the costs are I guess. I see alot of socialists as well, and while I know they are attempting the impossible, they are surely causing alot of harm achieving that.

wat

Some self awareness. Thought out loud.
