Papa Musk is not your friend

Elon Musk is the richest person on the Earth and at the same time, he is one of the most influential people of our time. In execrated words, what he wishes, will once become reality. Do you need higher the price of some random meme altcoin, which by the way has almost no usage? Just tweet about it.

Why does he do it? With some kind of certainty, we could say just because of “lulz”. It’s just for fun and he is memelord, right? Well, maybe but do you want memelord as a richest and influential person on the planet? Hopefully not, if you are not a nihilistic lunatic.

One argument might be that Musk only plays it, and yeah, it could be like it. But does it matters? I doubt it.

On this note is the next argument. Elon Musk is currently leading arguably the most innovative space program and he wants to provide the Internet for everyone with the Starlink programme, which last summer scared several dozens of astronomers. And what is Starlink beta terms, you might ask. Well, it is really terrifying.

For Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other colonization spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities. Accordingly, Disputes will be settled through self-governing principles, established in good faith, at the time of Martian settlement.

Is it a joke? Who knows. And that is pretty bad, Elon Musk is like a small child, who you don’t know what will do next.

Moreover, I didn’t even start with his other businesses. Tesla is miles ahead of its competition. Engineers from Toyota last year even said that Tesla is 6 years ahead. Neuralink was (fortunately?) kind of disappointment or at least what several experts say. However, one failure is not an obstacle for Musk.

He likes to speak about himself as some kind of messiah for mankind. A prophet, who will lead humanity to stars. But don’t be fooled, he is making monopole of 21st century for business and technology and at the same time, he is making effectively a cult around himself. He is becoming a villain, who is similar to Bond’s movie villains who does everything for the greater good (or maybe more suiting — a Kingsman like a villain).

Does Valentine remind you of somebody?

Papa Musk is not your friend and in close future (closer than you might think) will may become your enemy with his frantic attitude to everything (or cold pragmatism?). One way or another, this won’t end well.
