I don't have a problem with this per-say (I mean it offends my sensibilities and fuck musk) But the biggest problem I have is if Musk can just meme stock the company into a 8.5 trillion dollar valuation. Sure on the one hand you can say, well it's a private company, and if the shareholders get wealthy who cares? But like, our economic rewards should be tied to value to society, and I'm being pretty generous in defining value to society in capitalistic terms here. If you sell 100 million cars, then obviously society values those cars and if you want to get ridiculous sums of money so be it, so if he really does robotaxi and FSD and sells a million robots, then fuck it. (On the other hand, no I'm not ok with this, because money isn't just a reward, it's power, he's not buying yacht's he's buying goverments, but that's a story for another day) | ||
