What really is upsetting is that Musk has billions with which he can use on a lark. Most of us would consider 100,000 an impossible risk. Billionaires are the problem. I repeat - The problem.
Shame these guys don't build a hospital or something instead.
Ribbit
And that would preclude them being billionaires
and being a billionaire requires being sociopathic
"But where is the fun of that?" says Elon Musk probably.
I mean, as much as I think gates/bezos have abhorrent business practices, they do both have fairly large charitable foundations, and iirc, both have actually built literal hospitals with their money.
Bold of you to assume they wouldn't find some way to fuck that up too
You really want Musk to be in charge where people's lives are at stake?
Well yeah, of course lives will be affected but I meant more literally, as in people potentially dying.
And it's not like American hospitals don't make money hand over fist

There's also the UC Beniof Childrens Hospital
Oh wow this is real?
He didn’t build it, but yea his name is on it because of his money. Not that PR money means he has morals. Although, it is a hospital for real human people, not other lizard types.
Just the name really is a mouthful to say seriously.
Yes, it really was renamed after the Zuckerbergs, as buildings sometimes are at the request of a large donator seeking posterity.
See Wikipedia:
I don't think you'd want any part of a hospital that Elon Musk was involved in establishing.
The rich and powerful have always been the problem for thousands of years. Somehow, we forgot that for a time.
