Judging by the emerging visceral hatred from society for people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk who have that stated goal of working to make a better world with their wealth and power and make a better present and/or future for humanity, why bother sticking your neck out like that?

Keep your head down and give the masses more of the opiate that they keep demanding. /s




Even though I (and many others) have deeply respected Musk for all that he’s done the last decade, he’s gone and screwed it up with this idiotic distraction that is twitter. And in the process he’s totally messed up his legacy.

The visceral hate for Musk’s actions in the past 6 months feels warranted. I’m annoyed as a Tesla owner that he’s distracted with these silly things instead of staying his original course. Meanwhile Tesla as a company has completely stagnated.

This might be hard to believe, but sometimes billionaires say things they don't really mean if it will get them more power.
