I think about Crassus a lot with respect to Musk.
The awfuls... also get songs written about them. So nobody will forget what they did.
They don't care about how kind you are or how much you have helped a community. It's always about the ROI.
I have very strong thoughts about how certain companies shitting the bed repeatedly have set us up for a present and near future where a lot of very important things are riding on SpaceX and Tesla.
