@MonteEaglevisi1@LorrieAnn25@elonmusk I also wish this said "MAKER" vs "TAKERS". It rhymes and shows the distinction in fundamentals. Elon spends money too (on development and production), so "spending" is not the main difference. The difference is in where they each obtain the money they spend.
Don't forget Neuralink, potentially bringing sight to the sightless. Maybe bringing direct, instantaneous access for everyone to humanity's entire corpus of information.
Maybe someday, it will give socialists enough information and reasoning power to not be socialists, to embrace individualism and freedom over collectivism and authoritarianism! Dare to dream.
@mommaleo@elonmusk "Light cone" refers to causation. I think "light cone of consciousness" means spreading of consciousness throughout the universe so that it's not merely dead matter, but it's being used for the benefit of beings able to appreciate it.

To the dishonest, leftist media: You know what really stokes social tensions besides sharing video of an African Islamic "refugee" cutting off an Irishman's face? Two things: 1) African Islamic "refugees" cutting off Irishmen's faces, and 2) European governments which allow a massive influx of African Islamic "refugees" to cut off local Europeans' faces, rape European women, and commit other horrors. Don't blame people who share ugly facts; blame the people who create the ugly facts.

Everything you said is a lie, especially the part about minimizing civilian casualties. Remember Bucha? They hit apartments and shopping malls nearly every week. Except that last sentence was true; yes they could send all their missiles into Kiev. In fact they do. Each week they send all 7 they just built to harm civilian people and infrastructure.
"Wealth accumulation" doesn't exist; it is an invention of envious pricks, mostly leftists, socialists, communists. Rich people don't hoard their wealth in a vault, swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck chanting, "Arr, this is mine, you'll never see a dime!"
Some of their wealth they spend on things they want and need, which enriches the makers of those things. Most of it they invest into new wealth creation. Most of Mr. Musk's wealth will remain invested in SpaceX, fueling its growth and innovation.
The main issue isn't "accumulation". The issue is "wealth acquisition". How did the person acquire their wealth? Did they obtain it through the creation of innovative products, new industries, fueling new jobs along the way, like Musk? Honestly. Or did they obtain it dishonestly through theft, including government grift and fraud like many politicians do?
People like you @simonateba embrace the dishonest and vilify the honest, fueled by envy, by greed for wealth you did not and could not earn. To honest folks who admire creators and despise destroyers, it's disgusting.
Elon Musk was not born into wealth; far from it. He had an abusive father, and he was abusively bullied by other kids. He responded to that first by learning everything he could, then by building. He built and sold multiple companies, each time investing his time and money into ever more risky but potentially lucrative ventures. By his knowledge, skill, and huge efforts, each time he won, each time enriching humanity through his creations, as well as his investors. Yes, this includes himself; he bloody well earned it!
To be clear, most "Russophobes" don't dislike Russia or Russians for being Russian. People dislike your country because, after vowing to respect the sovereignty and territory of Ukraine, Russia's leaders decided to seize its territory and murder its people, including many civilians. And now, people dislike Russians because you bury your heads in the sand (or perhaps in your arses) to the evil acts of your regime and to the plight of Ukrainians. The only reason most Russians now even pay attention is because "Ukrainian sanctions" on your oil industry, which fuels and funds your war, means you now lack petrol to visit your dachas and buy a latte on the way. So in summary, f*k your past achievements; your leaders are responsible for, and your people are indifferent to (or supportive of!), the suffering and deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people.
One line that got me was, "Такого не было мне кажется некогда." "It seems to me it has never happened like this before." Her head was buried in the sand (or up her arse) for the last four+ freaking years while the neighbors to her south (assuming she's in St. Pete) were feeling this every freaking day! And worse, getting hit in their electric grid, heating systems, and their very flats, not like this poor b**ch, upset because now there's not enough gasoline to deliver her latte every day. Infuriating!
@Fingolfin512034@JayinKyiv Believe the propaganda if you like. Won't change the outcome of the war. The Russian army is incompetent, that's why they're getting their asses kicked by drones. Remember the Russian assault on Kiev? Where are they? All dead. All lies to appear more capable than the reality.
@EvaVlaar@SaveEuropeAct I feel for your cause. But European countries aren't known for freedom of thought these days. Look at England where thousands are jailed for social media posts. Or at Belgium where a man was convicted for writing documented facts. I fear this will only paint a target on signers.
@danyentezari@LauraLoomer Yes, exactly. Any resolution which leaves the Islamic Republic (including the IRGC) in power in Iran is a total failure for the Iranian people, for the USA, and for the free world.
@EndWokeness Perhaps because the driver was Muslim. Their autos, guns, and knives do all kinds of harmful stuff, completely out of the owners' control of course.
