Musk quote from the article:
“A lot of people would say they have the impression that the Earth is overpopulated. This is totally false. And they're just basing this on their immediate impressions because they live in a dense city. Have you gone to the countryside or looked down from an airplane? What percentage of the time, if you dropped a cannonball, would it drop on somebody? Basically zero percent.”

Yep, he’s clearly a genius...

Hmm...you don’t know me, don’t know anything about me, yet you make specious assumptions about me and then consider those assumptions validated without any further information.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the leading candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential race!

You validate my assumption with your snarky defensiveness.
Oh, and not a Republican, thanks. They, and you, can go @#$%& themselves.

Maybe spending that stimulus check on hookers and booze wouldn't be such a bad idea…

Sigh, I guess this is inevitably going to the Dark Side.

Elon Musk is not a perfect human being, and I do NOT agree with everything he says. For those that think he has Presidential aspirations, I will remind you that he is an immigrant which by definition, based on the current US Constitution, means he is ineligible.

Thanks for posting the article. As usual, he challenges people's assumptions with some things he says. Nothing wrong with that.

He's a great man, but he's a man. Like we all are.

Absolutely. Too often we want to elevate some people to a god like status....makes no sense.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan
