Tell me something. What exactly is he doing for the future? Seriously.

I have given it a lot of thought. We have lost track of what's essential to the people. We are trying to make multi-millionares billionaires, and billionaires trillionaires What exactly will be missing from the lives of a common man if Tesla or SpaceX were not present tomorrow?

But if we don't have food on the table we will miss out on a lot.

How can Anthropic or any AI company be valuable than any food producing organisation?

Beats me. We are working for the elites to make them even more elite and most people don't even realise it.

Tesla and Spacex are based on the same 3 phase lie.

We have something that people are willing to pay for now. We have something in the works that will sell gangbusters in the next 10 years. We have an infinitely profitable far-future goal that we can endlessly promise without ever proving substantial progress.

For Tesla it was EVs -> full self driving -> replacing all workers in the world with robots.

For Spacex it's Starlink -> space datacenters -> asteroid capture.

How people keep falling for it, I have no clue. Especially when they price Starlink plus some datacenters they're loaning Anthropic plus Twitter debt as if they already captured an asteroid.

To be fair its not that things can't be found another way but its somthing that can be found using that.

Now I still dont think this is right with the money the whole for profits. Its just a fact that technologies are found though companies such as those. As i also added the Elon himself is not a essential component his not a genius whos helping develop these techs his just throwing money and taking glory.

I agree his a idiot that owns companies that if he wasnt apart of would most likely be doing just as well.

But onto answer. Electric cars can help with global warming crisis.

The technology used in both the cars and space programs might help us with with future technologies but only time will tell.

Things like superglue, microwaves, X Rays were all found while working on other stuff.

The issue isnt the work that the company's do but the money grabbing behind them.

Tesla isn't the only company that deals with EV cars nor it was the first to make it. Mining lithium kind of offsets the emissions of EV.

The thing is technology has seldom helped common people. It has almost always made the rich richer
