Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Who do you hire to filter that? Electric sports cars, reusable rockets, all silly ideas that would never make it. His wealth allows him to try his ideas without the restrictions that everybody else has. That's worth much more than his reputation.

He wants to go to mars. Solar cells and tunnel boring could be long-term buildups of knowledge.

If he is not cleverer than most then it's his recklessness that created his success. Bezos also got the rocket billions but he was not as successful, and many other billionaires and companies could have tried, too.

Even the nazi wave, it is cringe and evil, but it looks like he picked the successful side.

It's not Musk that has to adjust but the general population. If we want to be safed by technology we have to find another hero, or better, build that technology without one.
