Today I learned that one in three children doesn't go on holiday in France. That's completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that this guy, according to estimates, caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of the world's poorest people by withdrawing humanitarian aid through the DOGE.

A thought for my friends across the Channel who recently saw this guy calling for civil war—on racial grounds, no less—in their country, and who is now being rewarded for it. You can say goodbye to your imposter syndrome. (I’m not referring to Musk here, but to everyone who allows this to happen.)

I don't know if it's because I'm neurodivergent, but every time I see Musk's name mentioned somewhere (which, unfortunately, happens several times a day in this world), I think of the people who died in the most horrific circumstances because of him (and Trump and their voters, of course).

I'm not crying, it's just a media doing their work 🥹 Please share if you find other journalists doing journalism 🙏

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

As passionate as I am about space exploration, I would sacrifice all of SpaceX and its sci-fi rockets in a heartbeat if it could save even one person in a faraway country. Now, all of that is associated with too much cruelty and bloodshed, an indelible stain that has turned the X into a gravestone☠️

My most profound hope is that tomorrow's IPO is such a failure SpaceX crashes and burns, and essentially ceases to be a significant player in space... It's, sadly, quite unlikely, but eh, such is the nature of hope...

The moment someone becomes worth 1 trillion, they should be congratulated, patted on the back given a gold plaque award. And then have 95% of their assets redistributed across the world. Maybe focused in the poorer nations. Tbh I think most billionaires should be treated the same.
