do you really think the world would be a better place without the guy who's been pushing for cars to go electric, and drastically lowering the cost and practicality of space launches? There's plenty of people who I wish didn't have the impact they do, but Elon Musk isn't one of them. Sure, he makes mistakes, but in contrast to what he's been able to achieve those mistakes seem very permissible.

- beaconstudios 8y agoOf course the injuries suffered by the tesla workers are tragic and I'd much prefer if tesla would work at a safer, saner pace so as not to endanger their people. But I'm still glad that someone is out there trying to put a dent in climate change, and get our space trajectory back on track.
- manigandham 8y agoThere are injured factory workers from every factory on the planet. We should be better, but it's unlikely to ever be 0 anywhere. Either way, we cannot just stop the world every time somebody somewhere gets hurt.
- emodendroket 8y agoThe rates were worse at Tesla in part because of frivolities like "Elon doesn't like yellow safety markers aesthetically."
- manigandham 8y agoThere have been no corroborating reports of this other than that single article, and there are miles of yellow all over the factory which now has a better safety record than when it was under previous ownership.
