David Brooks on the PBS News Hour: “Elon Musk is least semi-responsible for the deaths of probably by the end of this, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. That's Elon Musk’s legacy. The people who work at Tesla and SpaceX might want to think about that." - ThreadSky

but they weren't white, so OK, and even if they were, who really gives a fuck, jus grist for the mill, all we are is . . .

The phrase "all we are is grist" comes from the saying "all is grist to the mill," which means everything can be made useful or be a source of profit. In essence, it suggests that individuals are just the raw material (the grist) that is processed and shaped by larger forces or systems (the mill)🤔

Musk and Theil's palantir implementation is being directly used by Russia to attack Ukraine.

This system is 100% IDF > Oracle > NSO Group > Palantir

It is clearly being used in Ukraine.

Or… he coulda listened to all of Elmo’s former employees who sued, quit, were harassed, given horses, spoke up over the last 10-15 years.

what are you gonna do?

I’m pleased Brooks has finally come to this position. And I get he wants “facts” to arrive at this position. Being skeptical is a good thing. But… Elmo’s pattern has been openly known for quite a while. He’s been slow on the uptake. But at least he got here.

David Brooks makes me tired, but yes Musk’s policies have resulted in many deaths and this is just the beginning.
