Aside from Elon/SpaceX, how do we come back from this?

One dude is simultaneously spearheading efforts to:

1. Prevent space flight from being captured by crony capitalism 
2. Electrify individual mobility 
3. Keep internet speech censorship-resistant until crypto gets strong enough 

And you’re mad because he’s a troll?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Oh absolutely — we should be rooting for more people to do bold things

But if they aren’t or are not able to, and systemic change takes time, why would you tear down the keystone?

Even if you're an Elon fan, isn't it concerning to put so much of the fate of our future on one person? Since we're into decentralization and all...

Wasn’t talking about you, friend

Was a rhetorical question to all the Elon haters

I'm an Elon fan, and not mad at all :)

The question I'm asking is about how our country comes back from years of stagnation.

Maybe it takes one formidable individual, but the issue is bigger than that IMO.

That’s cope bruh 

Outliers don’t just stay in their lane in some parts of life

kinda. more mad that people like him seem necessary for progress

Yeah Gell-man Amnesia is common and part of our instinct — parlaying trust 

I don’t think there’s any data other than publishing stuff like the Twitter files

It’s just my hypothesis that we’re in a liminal phase between web2 and web3 systems, and Elon owning one of the legacy web2 systems is buying us time

any data points on how things made progress on 3. ?

i think elon is goat at business and tech but i'm not sure about having him as a political/cultural leader. that's one mistake we humans often make is transferring the legitimacy accrued by an individual through one discipline to all other disciplines. being good at this doesn't make you good at that
