RE: Why tech billionaire Elon Musk should be considered a “Modern Hero”

in #philosophy8 years ago

Thanks for the article. Another of yours that has resonated with me. Musk is a bit of a shining light to me also. Technology was meant to set us free from the drudgery of human survival and at least he seems to be putting his money where his mouth is.
However for me hero wise Elon Musk is still a capitalist first. His technological innovations are not going to be applied to the masses, only those 1st worlders who can afford it (I get paid a good salary in the UK and can't afford a Tesla!).
To me Bill Gates's work combating global preventable fatal disease is just as, if not more worthwhile, but unfortunately not as sexy. Cheers.
