- Trasmatta 2y agoAs far as oligarchs go, you can do a lot worse than Michael Bloomberg I guess
- philipov 2y agoYeah, it could have been Elon Musk oh wait
- DeepSeaTortoise 2y agoTBH, Musk seems pretty decent. He could have easily become wealthy via industries like oil, insurance or hotels. Instead he's dumping hia money into projects, which he thinks are visionary, even if they're likely to go belly up. Like (self-driving) electric vehicles, vacuum trains, massive scale satellite internet, factory automation, grid-scale batteries, UBI, free speech, the X Æ A-12 project, ... Not even thunderf00t believes he's malicious and it's hard to find anyone more obsessed
- philipov 2y agoThat's what I thought 10 years ago, and then he started dumping every trash thought he had on twitter and making nazi salutes.
- qnleigh 2y agoYes to electric cars and grid scale storage. To the Hyperloop, there is a case to be made that he mostly promoted that to kill public transportation projects, which he tends to oppose. https://www.disconnect.blog/p/the-hyperloop-was-always-a-scam https://www.disconnect.blog/p/the-hyperloop-was-always-a-sca...
