Musk recently caused uproar after he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute during President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities.
If we turned SpaceX into a worker’s co-op then I would also be fine with it, but I don’t think replacing Elon with another billionaire would help anything. I truly believe nearly every single billionaire on earth is morally bankrupt and far too detached from reality. The best case scenario for the continuation of billionaires is that live like evil dragons hoarding all their wealth while the planet burns… But far too often, billionaires use their wealth to erode democracy and to ratchet the world towards fascism.
If we truly want to save our world then billionaires need to be abolished, capitalism needs to be converted into market socialism, and we need to make education and improving democracy our #1 priorities so that we can actually build functioning science driven governments that are willing to fight for data proven policies
