Why Did Elon Musk Go After Bunkers Full of Seeds?

- thecrumb 2y agoBecause of some line on a spreadsheet. It's certainly not due to some kind of educated reason because that would imply... intelligence. Which we now know Elon Musk does not possess.
- techpineapple 2y agoI was just listening to a podcast that made the observation that in the tech world, decisions often have tight feedback loops, if Musk lays off a team it could be as fast as days or weeks that he figures out that that team was necessary for something. But seed vaults? We may be talking decades long feedback loops.
- Zigurd 2y agoThat would imply rationality. It's rage trolling anyone who pays enough attention to care, while posturing for sympathy that he is a victim. His hideous naked id.
- owisd 2y agoI can recommend Michael Lewis's The Fifth Risk that covers Trump #1 doing this sort of thing - go after the public bodies that protect against low probability but high consequence events because you'll get minimal pushback from the general public who are unlikely to notice.
- treetalker 2y agoYou know, with Musk, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him.
- jefurii 2y agoWhat a complete fucking idiot this guy is.
- cmurf 2y agoI'm not sure. I really think he might be malicious. This looks more like malice because you don't have to be that smart to understanding the value of this program. I'm not sure the amount of stupidity required to be against this program is even possible. Therefore malice. Maybe before the government closes the door, he buys the thing and privatizes it? In which case, greed. Gargantuan greed.
