> how emotionally charged, toxic and unpleasant it is
Considering you framed me as toxic I wonder how you frame the guy you are defending, as he is the one who is bullying everybody, committing securities fraud left and right, engaging in pump&dumps and doxxing whistleblowers.
But all that is somehow okay because of empty promises of Mars, FSD or some other technoutopian pipe dream.
It's the same identical blindspot Trump voters had about his character because he made empty promises to do something about China and immigration.
The issues people care about are often exploited by autocrats and fraudsters to gain power and wealth right now while they promise to do something about the issue sometime in the future (and never do).
Fear of death is already starting to be exploited in SV by cryonics companies, but I predict Musk will enter this niche too with Neuralink as it's too juicy of a fear not to exploit.
