The richest person in the world, Elon Musk, is a climate entrepreneur who got there in part due to climate-driven government subsidies. Just because someone made money off it though does not mean that climate change is a fake concern.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> richest person in the world, Elon Musk, is a climate entrepreneur who got there in part due to climate-driven government subsidies. Just because someone made money off it though does not mean that climate change is a fake concern. Nobody said this. If the only person arguing the dangers of climate change was Elon Musk, there would be room for reasonable skepticism. That's the difference between the AI debate and "any expert, scientist, or company executive who says 'this stuff could be dangerous'."
- SpicyLemonZest 3y agoI don't think that's a difference. The open letter the source article is criticizing is signed by a pretty wide variety of experts, scientists, and company executives.
