I hate how people idolize someone who has a past built on the racist exploitations of the South African system of apartheid, built a payment system that creates a class of haves and have-nots, builds a luxury vehicle for his white friends to virtue signal with, and now exploits a tragic situation involving people of color to further his drilling company.

Slate has it right, Musk should stop tweeting.

I hate these kinds of numbers because they hide the fact that most of these jobs do not provide a living wage.

We have too many problems on Earth, so we shouldn't put anytime in expressing our imperial tendencies else where in the solar system until we can feed all of our children and stop POC from dying at the hands of police.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvotes. American business represent some of the absolute worst excesses of capitalist greed and have no place in somewhere as progressive and forward thinking in Europe, or even China. Pro-people laws like the GDRP and this copyright go a long way in fighting communities that the alt-right and neo Nazis fester in. Just imagine if that Nazi frog could be wiped from the internet and its posters arrested for hate speech.

I’m excited about this and it brings us closer to a world where America means less and people mean more.

Limiting the use and possession of private cars would go a long way into reducing environmental impact and income inequality.

This is a problem with capitalism. A sense of social responsibility is traded for personal satisfaction what I am assuming is some form of subtle aggression to those in non-western cultures knowing that their garbage will be sent to poorer and brown communities to live with.

There is only one answer, ban all consumable plastics. Absolutely no reason to use them when alternatives exist in every application of them.

You can't be pro peace and work for a company that is supplying your code to a government that wants to kill brown people a half world away.

I hope more engineers do the same when working with the American government and understand that something they may see as benign as Excel can be used to facilitate harm.

I am with you on this. I am a recruiter for a large tech company in Seattle and with the recent political environment, I have asked my team to take it upon themselves to ask if the person they are going to bring into our team and our community is going to help us progress as a whole. I get angered when people tell me to look at just their CV, but there is so much more there. If I know that someone on their Facebook profile liked some Alt-Right podcast or calls themselves a "Libertarian" on their Twitter profile, I know that there is a good chance that they are not going to work well in an inclusive environment. So I save us both the trouble and move past the candidate.

We have an obligation to stand up for our beliefs if we are going to see the change we need.
