    It could be in this case a kind of arranged deal. Lex made a controversial paper about Tesla driver monitoring not being needed (based on users selected from an unbiased pool of... Tesla online fan clubs), flattering to Tesla's position, and promoted it before getting peer review. A few weeks later he had Musk on the podcast and got onto the Joe Rogan podcast and brought into a kind of mutual-shilling podcast circle. https://www.thedrive.com/tech/27359/mit-study-showing-high-functional-vigilance-among-autopilot-users-comes-with-massive-caveats https://www.thedrive.com/tech/27359/mit-study-showing-high-f...

    Starship, it's all about starship. If he succeeds with it humanity as a species can expanse beyond this gravity well in a few decades. Not sure what this fixation on mars is about, tough.
