Well, one implies malice, and the other pushing for a better more futuristic future.
And he has a history of pushing for an idealistic futuristic future, with pushing spacex to figure out how to land rockets or how to make a profitable EV, so ya, I’m willing to say there’s a likely chance he was honest in thinking it was a bad idea and California, the home of silicon valley and advanced technology could maybe come up with something better.
But we’ll never really know.
I want some of what you are having, because you have a warped perception of reality.
Tom Nicholas has really good essay on this topic. Musk is not a futurism proponent. He is an apocalyptic visionaire. His view is not preparing a better future for all humans, instead he’s about using tech for rich people surviving the end of the world whilst retaining their privileges. His futurism is fake.
Yeah, he probably wasn’t, but that means there’s a chance he was. The person you’re replying to isn’t saying he was or wasn’t. You want to start an argument over that, this is all you. All you’re doing, without proof that Musk absolutely is fake in this one instance, is just changing the percentage, but not making it certain.
