"It appears that consciousness is a very rare & precious thing & we should take whatever steps we can to preserve the light of consciousness. Only now, after 4.5 billion years has that window been open. Thatโs a long time to wait and it might not stay open for long.โ -

Fantastically empty words. Rarely do you see so little meaning in so many words.

'Save Earth' would suffice.

He's not talking about saving earth now is he?

The fuck?

He is clearly saying preserve the light of consciousness
That doesnt just mean saving earth, unless you have a glass ball what can see into the future, then we might have to possibly leave earth within the next 1000y
What even is your issue here? People just love to moan

Nah---there's a very real argument that Musk isn't really about preserving the spark of consciousness, since he clearly disregards the consciousness of non-human life here on Earth. He's a human chauvinist first and foremost.

He does alot more than you or me
While we tweet anonymously chatting shit & moaning as if we are shining examples of humanity
Hes actually doing the work, you realize how revolutionary reusable rockets are? & this guys done it

Lol he hasn't made a reusable rocket... he aspires to make one. Also, I give his engineers far more credit than Marketer-in-Chief. Worshiping individuals like musk that have the potential to do more harm to the world than 99.99% of people never ended well.

I dont worship musk, not sure where you got that from
He has got reusable rockets, partially anyway....not sure where you have got that from aswell
& potential doesnt always translate to the real world
You think elons going to destroy the planet or smin ๐๐?
No, but he's actively undermining the response to an existential threat because he doesn't like the idea that he has to personally pay anything to reduce carbon emissions. He'd rather go on living in a fantasy that he's not a principle beneficiary of the massive damage.
And yeah, a partially reusable rocket is not a reusable rocket. :D The Space Shuttle was partially reusable. The Falcon 9 isn't even cheaper in reusable vs. expendable mode---it is just a massive PR stunt.
