Coming from the engineering world (having worked both in the car maker and aeronautical industry), thus knowing what it implies first hand, no one, believe me NO ONE sets to build cars and rockets if the pursuit is solely about money and power. The very fields he is pioneering are all proof needed for his good will. I know what he is doing, the effort it takes and more than anything the mindset it takes, is nearly mathematical proof of his vision and intentions. So I believe in Elon blindly.
You worked in auto and aeronatics? nice job, you have a unique perspective
And before Tesla and SpaceX, he was a co-founder of PayPal.
Elon is not driven by money. He is not power hungry either. He understands that the 1st and 2nd amendments are critical for a free society.
He used to be friendly with the regime until he was excommunicated for purchasing Twitter and not following orders like Zuckerberg.

Thank you buddy :)
Yes! I was fortunate enough to have that experience!

I think he is ambitious, and he understands that his endeavours are only viable if profitable and do give him power if successful. But you do not think about building rockets if your main motivation is money and power. You go to BlackRock if your motivation is money and power.
I wouldn't believe in anything blindly. I believe in myself. All my heroes get knocked off the tower eventually. I don't think Elon is what he says he is.

You may not believe gravity exists, yet it exists. You may not believe Elon is making cars yet he is. You may not believe Elon is making rockets yet he is. Would you deny his achievements? Would you deny its impacts? If you do, no discussion on the matter is possible under the mantle of reason, in which case I leave you with your own reality in peace.

Can you prove to me that there aren't people that levitate? I know you cannot. Even if gravity does exist. I don't believe we travel to space, so in my reality, rockets are useless. I believe electric self driving cars for everyone is not the future, so, for me, Tesla is useless. My opinion is he bought Twitter to get more control. That's purely intuition. Most of this is. That's why I say I don't know. I could be wrong about it all. I just don't see what he does that actually helps people. I am open to him being a great guy. He hasn't shown me yet. And the vibe I get from him is...not great. He seems like he is good at tricking people into being hyped about something. And then under delivering. He doesn't do and hasn't done many of the things his claims will suggest. Again. It's just my point of view. I'm me. And I am strange. I know people like to think he I super impressive. And maybe he is. I don't know. I will say he is impressive.

Yes I can, with all rigour, in the same way I can prove to you there's no people that can summon energy from nothing.
I don't believe we travel to space, so in my reality, rockets are useless. I believe electric self driving cars for everyone is not the future, so, for me, Tesla is useless.
As I said, if you deny his achievements and its impacts, no discussion is possible on the matter. I leave you with your own reality in peace.
I just don't see what he does that actually helps people.
That's the most definitive statement ending this conversation right now.

Any scientist can agree that you can't prove something doesn't exist. We live in a multiverse. You And I see different futures. Not right or wrong. Just different. It's okay if we see things differently. We may be on different timelines. Likely, we are. And you may be completely right about it all. I'm not telling you how anything is..just telling you about my experience.
Do you believe in yourself blindly? lol
reply
Ahh. Sort of. That's faith right? I think God is in all of us. When we kill our heroes we can see the hero in ourselves, feel our connection with the all, source, god, the universe.. all real knowing comes from within... In silence. That's how I feel about it. There is no need for me to seek outer authority on what is real. That's just my take. Maybe it's foolish.
