I'd sued and settle for a few billion instead of taking the one billion backout
He uses his wealth as a weapon against companies he doesn't like, just the mere threat he may get involved causes massive changes in the stock price
and in turn causes investors to suffer financial lose.

Reminds me of Bitcoin "whales". It's a shame that this guy is the figure that will take humanity to Mars.

- mwint 4y agoThis comment is like someone saying they’re eating pizza, and responding “you’re only eating a few slices”
- themitigating 4y agoI think you mean the benefit of technological advances from a mars trip. A mars trip itself is only for those going. Most people don't get a part of it unlike pizza which can be divided
- mwint 4y agoSo, how would you define “taking humanity to Mars”? Surely you don’t have to take all the humans to Mars. We’d all agree that Europeans (non-exclusively) colonized the Americas, but not all Europeans went and not all had the opportunity.
- themitigating 4y agoYou compared a tangible item being divided amoung people to an achievement for humanity as a species. They are two different things. That's my issue
- mwint 4y agoThe Americas were divided among people (original inhabitants, and later colonies), and many countries & people weren’t recipients. But I’d still say that humanity has reached America.
- nerdix 4y agoYou don't want to be on that train anyway. It only goes one way. And it will likely result in a premature death.

- frollo 4y ago> It's a shame that this guy is the figure that will take humanity to Mars That's just more BS from him. He'll just keep kicking the can, resuming the project with some spectacular stunt every time he needs it. Everything Musk does or says is just a performance to manipulate the markets.
- ceejayoz 4y agoI think the Mars stuff is the least likely to be BS. There's been ongoing, real advancement towards the goal for over a decade now, advancement serious enough that NASA's picked them to land their astronauts on the Moon with their Mars rocket. A permanent colony seems like the sort of thing he'd get bored with, though.
- bckr 4y agoExcept that Mars is a terrible location for a settlement in the next 100 years. Bezos has the right idea, leaning into O'Neil cylinders.
