I was just thinking about this today. Any corporations big enough for us all to know have likely done more bad things than praiseworthy things. Patagonia is the closest I can think of to a good company we may all know.

The things with the Musk companies that drive me crazy though, is that everything Musk is head of are things that I should be excited about: spaceflight, EVs, green energy, public transportation.

But now thinking about any of those companies reminds me of a less funny version of when Mr Burns opens the recycling plant, but uses it to kill large numbers of sea creatures.

He just sucks the life out of so much exciting tech. While I don’t use any of his stuff, it used to feel aspirational. There’s at least other viable alternatives for just about everything now, but spaceflight is a big disappointment, as that is the most “future” feeling thing to me that there is. It was so exciting to see someone accelerating space travel, but now I hate he’s got his fingers on all of it. Am I supposed to root for Boeing now? Ick!
