And to think, the same guy greenlighting the processes and creating the culture that produced a problem like that, also heads another company that puts software in the hands of people called "full self driving" that controls a piece of equipment that is thousands of pounds and flying down our streets and highways at significant speeds.
What a time to be alive!
To say nothing of the whole, y'know, "grafting experimental hardware directly into peoples' brains" thing.
Don't forget the rockets filled with explosive fuel 💖
Remember when they destroyed the launch pad because he had a "better" approach to its design? https://www.space.com/spacex-starship-damage-starbase-launch-pad
The cars aren't what you should be worried about, he also has a company that makes brain chips meant to be implanted in humans.
Imagine that that kind of technology could do to people when it matures.
Do you think Musk will wait for it to mature before doing whatever he wants with it?
Absolutely not, but I do think most people won't adopt it until it's mature and it likely won't become a problem until lots of people have adopted it.
I recently found out that many high profile engineers from Tesla have left to create a new EV company called Lucid.
The cars are pricey, but they look really nice. Might be worth checking out if you’re in the market and have a boatload of money burning a hole in your pocket.
Honestly I think Tesla and spacex got where they did as he wasn't doing any programming. Last time I used paypal it felt janky af.
