I wish all billionaires were as driven to advance humanity as Musk. He’s a bit odd on twitter, but also on the spectrum which could explain a lot. The guy lives in a shitty house in a shitty area because he’s deeply involved in Starship development. People should admire that sort of drive, instead they’ll always find something to exaggerate to make him seem like an asshole.
