Which of the following is true about Elon Musk?
21
resolved Jun 23
Sure he’s powerful but so are other ultrawealthies, it’s a systemic issue not a specific instance important on its own
He wields extragovernmental, geopolitical power and it’s important to understand thid
I am no more or less likely to consider buying a Tesla or keeping mine than I was pre-Twitter Elon
He is increasing x-risk
He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple
@EliezerYudowsky is at least as smart as him (the tag shouldn’t matter, he says he’s blocked me)
At least two of his children will choose to be known by a name other than their birth name
If someone less powerful behaved and talked like he does, they would be widely considered mentally ill
Overall he does more good for humanity than bad (we’re stuck with this now but if I had it to do over I’d break this into “has done” and “will do”)
Is cringe
