I thought one of the prongs of the legalization argument was to note that marijuana isn’t just consumed by musicians, “artist types”, and loser stoners living in moms’ basements, but by successful people. I wish more CEOs had done this back when it actually would have meant more, but better late than never.

Neil deGrasse Tyson may be have a luna-tic, but Im pretty sure he aint a white-right-wing-lunatic.
right?
for the record; I enjoyed the conversation between rogan and musk quite a bit. musk doesnt seem to be the asshole as everyone tries to portray him, I dunno. and he isnt stupid, thats for sure. bit asperger, maybe. cant help it, kinda like him, at least within the “interview”…

or maybe he’s doing the whole manchild midlife crisis thing, but since he’s elon fucking musk it’s all going to be covered in WaPo religiously 
It didn’t not work. The Thai Navy refused to use it.

All excellent advice. I hope it one day becomes relevant to me.
Is he portrayed as an asshole?
So first of all, he is my favorite billionaire. To be fair he didnt have to try very hard. But of the field, he was definitely my favorite.
I got the impression he was everyone else’s favorite billionaire as well. Which was why he could get away with some god awful ideas, some excellent ideas which were executed with bad business plans, and some really good ideas executed with good business plans.
Why have a favorite billionaire in the first place? Since when was wealth ever a means of determining worth and value in human existence.

Hmm. Smoke, fire… Maybe he should develop a portable ashtray or something.

So let’s temporarily set aside the fact that you are right.
For the same reason I have a favorite brand of toilet paper I guess. Climb every mountain, sing every song.
No, now I think about it I have to come to the determination of which is my favorite toilet paper by long trial and study, taking numerous factors into account. It really is a good idea to have a fave brand of toilet paper. Whereas I sort of decided which my favorite billionaire was almost by picking one random one out of the many exhaustively covered by the global media. So really its its more like the Patriots. I dont really give a shit, but if I had to choose who would be last to shoot come the revolution, then Elon Musk it is!
He is an Iain Banks fan, and some of his projects kind of make sense for humanity.
I mean, you do you, of course, but there are thousands up on thousands of people working on these issues, and not getting their ego stroked for doing so (nor are they likely to become incredibly wealthy, etc, since they work within institutions). His companies also have a very shitty track record on safety and the treatment of their employees. An inability to treat other human beings with basic respect speaks volumes to the kind of person he is, that he cares more for the gratification of his own ego than the welfare of his employees. I personally don’t find any of that particularly admirable.
I also don’t have a favorite billionaire, because I don’t particularly find being rich in and of itself an admirable quality.

Some kind of OSHA or insurance thing I assume? There is heavy machinery involved at the production facilities.
