Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
@Bitcoin_Teddy Many years ago I met someone who was soon to retire, he told me about all the plans he had, travelling etc.
He died the day after he retired.
That changed my life plan.
Unfortunately for you we all have eyes and saw a victim of an assault grabbed from behind by a police officer before instinctively hitting out. As soon as he realised it was a police officer he was largely compliant, albeit angry and bemused as to why he was being arrested at all
We are aware of footage showing the arrest of a man after a disorder on Broad Street at 1.30am on 21 June.
Officers found a group of men fighting. As the incident was dealt with, an officer was punched.
One man was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer.
@secretsqrl123 You're talking about a failing air defense and that they will bring in the air force.
I can only imagine the friendly fire damage jets are gonna cause firing at drones over Russia.
@JohnnyNash77 You're talking about the Straits being closed. The main factor is the insurance companies. Even if the US invaded, there would still be a risk of drones etc so the insurance companies wouldn't insure, the tankers wouldn't go through.
@JohnnyNash77 Can you ask @marsdavis01 if he thinks the mid terms are already decided, I hear the GOP will loose the House. If so, is there any point in waiting to deal with Iran?
@vegesphere@johnkonrad And if for example you apply for a job as a teacher, nurse, police etc you have to go through a police records check, and if you have non crime hate incident on your record, good luck getting a job.
@vegesphere@johnkonrad What we have done is pass laws based on 'feelings'.
The law states that if I am offended because you have done ..., then you have committed an offence which the police have to investigate.
They are called "non crime hate incidents".
Usually no jail but you go on list.
