Why Elon Musk Won't Save Us
Heyyo! Hope your week has been going well. I just released a new video, so here is your biweekly email with three quotes and three links!
Three Quotes:
“Everyone in Tesla is in an abusive relationship with Elon.”
— Former Tesla Executive
“The $138 billion wealth growth of Tesla founder Elon Musk alone could cover the ten-year costs of tuition for 5.5 million community college students and feeding 29 million low-income public school kids over the summer [in the United States] — and still leave Musk $4 billion richer than he was before COVID.”
— Inequality.org
“The problem with out-of-the-box approaches is that they tend to ignore the on-the-ground realities faced by actual human people.”
— Jeff Yang
