    Since Bezos was a little kid he’s wanted to go into space, and since like, a teen he’s felt that mankind needs to go into space for the long term survival of the species.

    Which, yeah, long long term we need to leave earth for sure. Short term is it the best way to be spending our resources?

    But, Bezos has been very consistent on that long term goal. (Sorry I know too much about Bezos thanks to my work.)

    If it's a long term goal and the thesis is that it's a necessity, you probably would want to work on it before you absolutely need it

    On the other hand, maybe you should try to fix the leaks in your ship before trying to build a second ship and using that one

    "Thousands"? No, think "millions". Or even "billions". The Sun isn't going to cause the Earth to be uninhabitable for another several billion years.

    One reason why Musk is unhappy is because California has sued Tesla over systemic racial discrimination
    Many workers reported derogatory comments came directly from their superiors, the agency writes. One Black worker reported hearing racial slurs as often as 50-100 times a day, being called the “N-word”, and “hood rats”, according to the complaint.

    Other workers told of racist graffiti found in factory common areas, including swastikas, KKK, the N-word, and other racist writing that Tesla did not remove for months at a time, according to the suit.

    Black workers reported being assigned difficult, menial jobs in segregated areas of the factory known as “the dark side”, DFEH also says, and are less likely to be promoted to management positions.

    “For many Black workers, the stress from the severe and pervasive racial harassment, the risk of a physical altercation and escalation with harassers, the blatant discrimination, the disproportionately severe discipline, and the futility of complaining, made the working conditions so intolerable that they resigned,” the complaint says.
    Just as a refresher

    Musk has always been a racist

    Anybody alive today making any decisions based on the idea that someday humanity "has to" leave earth is just incredibly dumb

    Like, space is cool and all, but any time and energy spent trying to get any more people living in space beyond like the ISS crew is just a tragic a waste

    Which is also tanking Tesla's stock price. It's down something like 40% since the start of the year.

    Just months after her settlement in 2018, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the "Stand Against Non-Disclosure Act," which bars the use of NDAs going forward in settlements involving sexual harassment, discrimination, or assault unless they are requested by the plaintiff.

    This was, like, a year before musk moved both himself and teslas headquarters out of California if I'm reading the dates correctly?

    He is in that he'll change his beliefs to suit whoever flatters him the most (and you know, the sexual assault). He is not in that he can actually form full coherent sentences.


    Also lol at elon saying this is a politically motivated hit piece. Dude you're not in politics.
