Hes done so much more with virtually no help from the federal government, compared to the subsidies that Boeing etc... gets from them for space shit.
Holy shit the level of retarded in this statement.
Literally 99.99% of Elon Musk's net worth was subsidized by the USSA "taxpayer" debt slave.
You're a literal retarded faggot sheep.
He's gotten under 5 billion in subsidies for spaceX total. Boeing got that much just for the Starliner Capsule which doesnt even work. NASA spent 23 billion on a single SLS which would be totally obsolete before it even gets off the ground, if they would let him test Starship.
Tesla has gotten roughly the same amount under 5 billion, ford got 1.3 billion for one single EV factory alone. They give him the bare minimum compared to legacy companies because if they didnt their corruption would be totally obvious.
Total up all the subsidies hes gotten for his companies, which are way less than subsidies others get in the same industries and its under 3% of his total net worth.
Try again Bezos.
Tesla exists because of huge federal subsidies for green energy in the US. Elon is just a fresh face on the transhumanist agenda. Just look where he is spending his time and money. Self-driving cars that can be turned off remotely. Low orbit satellites offering internet service. AI and brain implants. It's all transhumanist. He's good at PR stunts, like refusing to censor starlink, but you would be foolish to put blind faith in this guy.
What would change my mind?
1) Make it literally IMPOSSIBLE for Teslas to be turned off or driven remotely. Make all of the control systems roll up to a master private key that's only controlled by the owner of the car, and make that key able to override 100% of the remote access. Open source this and let independent 3rd parties verify it gives the driver full control.
2) Start publishing a warrant canary for Starlink so customers know if intelligence agencies are piping its data into their spying centers. This will never happen because they already are!
Actions speak louder than words.
There you go using your brain again!
Any connective, computer controlled car can be shut down remotely. Its just a natural side effect of that kind of tech and there is no way to guarantee that any car that is run by computer, that can be connected to will ever be really secure. if he starts lobbying to ban people from driving analog cars then we have a problem.
It not possible for any company to do that. Even if he published what youre asking for, the alphabet agency would just hack their network, and gag them if anyone noticed.
Not true. He could easily put a hardware "kill switch" in his cars that completely turns off remote access to the vehicle and a local software reset that lets the driver control everything locally/manually.
I'm not talking about an alphabet agency hacking starlink. That would be noticeable. What I'm talking about is a warrant canary. Elon could issue a warrant canary. He won't, because I guarantee you he's already received the letter and is piping the data to said agencies.
Didn't the WEF have a 3 letter slogan for all this bullshit and all companies have to agree to it or be depersoned?
Yes, it's called IRS.
I couldn't have said it better. Thanks!
Bezos was so nice he thanked the little insignificant poor people for funding his space flight
