Great points. I would argue Bezos and Gates are equally dangerous and Gates is more likely to do something horrible to us because he doesn't see us as customers anymore. So I give the nod to him, but it's pretty fucking close.

On Musk, I used to see it like you do, but now I think he was smart to take the money and I'm glad he did it because he's the only thing standing between Bezos achieving total domination of near Earth space. If you want to understand Musk better you really need to read the Culture series by Ian M. Banks. Especially the Special Circumstances parts, which is pretty much all of it.

Hi Alfredbester,

I see your point. But, Musk is the text book definition of an equal opportunity snake. One day he's helping you by eating the rodents, the next he's biting your leg.

Do you honestly think he will put WeThePeople first if he's given enough tax payer money to become king of the outer stratosphere? NOT!!!

Yes. I believe he wants us to succeed as a species and reach the stars more than he desires personal power.

I will take Musk anyday over Lex Luther and his autistic gimp.
