The person I feel the worst for today is Elon
“Won’t someone PLEASE think of the poor Billionaire?”
all he wants to do is build things
Yeah, datacenters. Which use up FAR more resources and power than they are worth, with most of the costs being paid for by the little guy.
And datacenters are ironically the most practical thing he insists on “building”. Not that he builds anything himself, mind you, he just steals the credit from those who do.
make humanity interplanetary
And that fantasy helps our current problems, how exactly?
Like a lion having to swat at flies all day.
Elon is not a lion(*)… But to take your analogy, even a massive elephant can be killed by a few tiny scorpions. Or even a swarm of hornets with nothing left to lose.
(*)Or maybe he is, male lions are not the alpha beasts you think they are. Female lions, however, are more so.
