People only seem to look at musk through the lense of Twitter/X and his political views which is a bit short sighted. I think looking at his CV they’d be lucky to get him involved….
Runs a company that made EVs mainstream and as far as I’m aware still the only car company that can make them profitably (also made their IP open source). Also not far off self driving vehicles
Runs a company that has rolled out satellite internet to parts of the world where there is no chance of traditional WiFi/broadband
Started a company that is ahead of most/all nation states when it comes to space travel and is delivering reusable rockets which produces far more efficient/cost effective space exploration/travel
Involved in starting a company (neuralink) that is developing ways to help give quadriplegics the ability to control devices through their thoughts and can possible help to restore some blind people’s eyesight
Runs a company that has rolled out large scale battery storage units (megapack) that are driving renewable energy
Big ego, undoubtedly, said some stuff he shouldn’t have, yep but shouldn’t governments be picking the brains of people like musk ? Have people not seen the state of politicians these days ?!
ps I agree if 75% of civil servants are sacked the state would collapse. Can’t see that happening though
