I can point to many things in which musk has advanced humanity. I don't think I can point to a single thing Bill Gates has ever done that advanced humanity. Even Microsoft and the operating system actually held back humanity because he actively went after in courts free alternatives such as Linux and others and he established the software patents to make it very difficult to offer better alternatives to Microsoft Windows.
And I don't know anything else he's doing that even possibly could be considered a benefit to humanity.
Whereas mosques has advanced access to space dramatically which will drastically improve everyone's lives and already is through simple things like space internet access and that's just the first. Many low-cost satellites will provide many new sources of information and data for people that will benefit them such as farmers and others. And that's just the beginning because as we all know musk's intention and spaces to go far beyond Earth orbit.
Furthermore with you love the idea of electric cars or not it's certainly is a proven alternative that has certain advantages that some people like and he has advanced manufacturing technology in the United States dramatically. He's made many people wealthy as well as provided many jobs for manufacturing in America when most everybody else was getting rid of manufacturing in america. And the full self-driving capability although delayed is finally here in just a waiting regulatory approval. But it can now drive you from your driveway to your destination and park you without you touching the wheel and that will drastically improve the lives of many people and make transportation less costly unless stressful. Probably will make it safer as well.
His battery technology is being widely deployed in solar installations all over the country which would probably blow your mind if you actually saw many of these solar installations that are being built in huge numbers in places that you wouldn't expect. Not just california. Massive solar installations now being built in the Southeast on farmland and other areas which will provide low cost power for the area and they rely on Tesla battery packs within the solar farms to even the load and provide backup load on cloudy days.
and although x clearly is not uncensored it is a huge step above what Twitter was and has probably made a very large net positive effect on communication in the United States and perhaps the world since he spent $40 billion dollars to buy it
Neurolink is already restoring physical capability to people who lost it and will make a tremendous difference in many handicapped people's lives and it may offer futuristic capabilities to healthy people who choose to adopt it.
And musk has advanced AI tremendously arguably have the leading or at least one of the leading AIS now in the world on us shore because of his rapid construction of his facility in memphis. And you can argue about the net positive or net negative effects of AI but AI is inevitable and it is far better to have an American company producing one of the leading things on equipment that is on American soil than it is to be reliant on China and others for exclusive AI development.
