This is silicon valley and particularly Musk's logic put into practice in the government. Look at how they talk about driverless cars.
"Automobile deaths are bad and numerous, we want to get rid of them with driverless cars, which will kill people in the course of their development, but that's okay because remember we told you about the deaths we will prevent in the future? Therefore we can expend as many lives as we want now because by doing so we will save infinite lives. This is why we must be permitted to operate beta robots on public roads."
The rationale continues on to starship and neuralink. We have to go to Mars to save humanity, therefore you must tolerate starships exploding and destroying the ecosystem over your house. We have to invent this important medical device to save people, therefore we must conduct morally gray research on implanting devices into human brains. The justifications and rationalizations are endless.
