  The first he pays lip-service to (we haven't seen an evidence for or against outside of his desire to bully people into silence), but doesn't his plan to make the human race multi-planetary involve bringing back indentured servitude?

    Am I missing something? Indentured Servitude?

      Yeah, if you can't afford to go to Mars, just take out a loan and then pay it off by working for him[1]. [1] https://twitter.com/Kristennetten/status/1217992009794740224 https://twitter.com/Kristennetten/status/1217992009794740224?

        Which is hilarious, because this has been part of basically every fictional dystopian sci fi universe ever. What other warnings has Musk confused with good ideas?

        The two of you don't understand what indentured servitude is. Having your choice of jobs is not indentured servitude. It's literally just a loan. Indentured servitude is when you're essentially property of the person who gave you the loan. by ya'lls definition of Indent. Serv. any loan at all is equivalent to Ind.Servitude because you have to pay it back.

        Musk doesn't think his cities on Mars will have to follow any Earth based laws or concept of rights. https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/elon-musks-spacex-colony-on-mars-wont-follow-earth-based-laws/ https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/elon-musks-spacex-colony-on-ma...

        NyPost first of all.... Second of all, It's not 'his cities'. The goal is hundreds of thousands of people in those cities and they will form their own government just like they have on earth.

        Not if he populates the cities with Tesla Compliance-Cop Model S's to enforce his vision!

        Harder to do when they don't control the water/food/oxygen/ships supplying said cities.

  That's not what free speech means. Multiplanetary? Really? We'll all be so far dead by then...

      > Asshole for trying? Trying what exactly? We're literally killing our planet and instead of doing what we should do to save it, we praise some rich asshole for building a rocket? Why?

>he is doing a pretty good job at revealing himself as one. this looks like it's referring to recent actions. in my opinion, musks actions in the past year (including the past week or so) have been far, far more acceptable than those in the past decade

  of course they don't apply this logic to other businesses, because the vast majority of large company CEOs are probably assholes or do tasteless rich people things - it's sort of a requirement for the job. people have the equivalent of trump derangement syndrome but for elon.

  Say I do. We all are hypocrites in some degree, does that mean my opinion on Musk is not valid? My problem with Musk is who he is getting politically aligned with, for several very close reasons.
