That’s absolutely true, but I believe Elon truly does, just on an unorthodox scale. Tesla works to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. SpaceX works to make spaceflight more affordable, and literally back up humanity for an extinction level event.

OpenAI has Peter Thiel on it.

The question is how much of your life are you willing to waste defending the ones that are 99% bad? And could that energy not be used for something more beneficial in general?

I do know that Elon isn’t 99% bad. I barely know anything about Peter Thiel (other than that he co-founded PayPal and supports Trump) so I can’t form a real opinion. Any recommended reads?

Look up Palantir.
