Perhaps he meant that it's not as bad as some people think that nuclear bombs make areas uninhabitable for 1000 of years. I think a lot of people probably think that. Disregarding injuries and death

Sorry, no matter how you look at it, it is a stupid comment from Musk.

If that's what he meant he should have phrased it that way. Otherwise, even if we assume what you wrote is true, he sounds like a person insensitive to mass murder.

"Disregarding injuries and death."

This. This is the problem.

It's also ignoring 80 years of advancement from literally the first nuclear bombs...

A modern one would make an area uninhabitable for centuries and spread radiation around the majority of the planet. And the destructive force of the blast would flatten like 10x the area.

Disregarding injuries and death

Well, yeah, because that's an other people's problem.
