Elon, have you read this paper by Nick Bostrom, "Astronomical Waste"? nickbostrom.com/astronomical/w This essentially states that every second we delay expanding into space, we lose at least ONE HUNDRED TRILLION potential human lives that could have lived 🤯

Musk spent $44 Billion on Twitter. The World's population is 8 billion. He could have given each person $5 billion and still have money leftover. I feel like a cheque for $5 billion would be life changing for most people. Yet he wasted it all on Twitter.
