If Musk dies tomorrow, I don't see anyone else leading up charge for all the progress in space exploration. No one is gutsy enough to go after Mars landing as much as Musk. I would fear that Mars mission will die out if Musk goes away and we won't see it happening in our life time. All the EV race is also purely due to Tesla lead. No car manufacturer wanted this change and they are all now getting dragged into it. If Musk dies and Tesla goes stagnant, I can bet car manufactured will return to same-old same-old in no time.
I am less worried about Musk "overworking" and more worried about him getting identified as sacrificial scapegot in one of the political fights and get "cancelled".
- craftyguy 5y agoMeh. He's not the only person on Earth pushing for a Mars mission. > I can bet car manufactured will return to same-old same-old in no time. I'd bet against you. Not sure if you noticed, but gasoline prices are skyrocketing. This isn't the first time this century and it definitely won't be the last time. EV will happen whether musk autopilots his way into a highway median or not. > scapegot in one of the political fights and get "cancelled". Maybe you shouldn't "cancel" your spellcheck.

Automakers have invested billions in EVs and the platform technology around them, there's no way they abandon it if Elon dies. Electric vehicle manufacturing and adoption is absolutely here to stay.
- mirceal 5y agowhat will we ever do without Elon? We’ll probably be fine. What should worry you is the reason he wants to buy Twitter.
