Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, climatology, Elon Musk, sustainability

A “perfect storm” of several crises, such as climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic, mean many nations are “knocking on famine’s door,” Beasley said.

Elon Musk slams billionaire tax: ‘Eventually, they run out of other people’s money and then they come for you’

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, neuroscience

No. Eventually billionaires will run out of OUR money, NOT the other way around. I love the things and companies he’s created. I love the industries he’s revolutionized and the massive Kickstart he has given to our entire species and it’s extrasolar future. He is INARGUABLY a brilliant man.

Musk is just another example of that kind of ego overspill. It’s not the first time he’s done it, and it will NOT be the last or worst occurrence of… Let’s call it the “Big brain on Brad golden suitcase of indeterminate origin syndrome.”
