I once told the person I was talking to on my phone that I couldn't find my phone and continued to panic.

What makes you think he never does stuff like that?

Take heart, Elon probably has done that as well. He’s just more successful than you could ever possibly imagine yourself to be.

To be fair, he was dumb enough to lose his one car to a space program. He has to carpool with his peasant co-workers now.

"Revolutionizing the human experience" lmao no. He makes cars too expensive for anyone working class to buy and fucks around with space

Why label it? «black history month» is still part of american history. Why is there no White history month? Just call it history ffs....
VaardArk
Because America doesn’t teach black history as a part of its history.
Shamwowser
We learn American history because we live there, we don't learn black history because that isn't something everyone needs to know and it's
It's not just about the atrocities. It's also about the great achievements they have contributed that have been rewritten and whitewashed.
not something that happened solely in America. I know it sounds bad but our school system sucks and really we don't need a detailed history
wrackspurts
(2) to those overlooked by history as a result of being marginalised.
It's not as if it weren't for this month, black history wouldn't be taught. And besides it's not just praising famous black people but all.
It's generally not, our curriculum is pretty European focused. And maybe that's how people are taking it, but not what it's for!
And it generally shouldn't be. It should be about the person and not their skin color.
It's not praising them purely on the colour of their skin, it's recognising that history is white-washed and bringing awareness (1)
somewhatwiseguy
How is history white washed it's just history you don't study European history if you're looking for Aztecs so to speak
(2) written about in the first place.
Then what do you call egyptian history Mayan and Aztec history Spanish history Chinese and Japanese history these are all widely studied
History is written by the victors, generally white dudes. By 'whitewashed' I don't mean 'changed to white' I mean that POC weren't (1)
KongBjoern
IIRC he is just african, not african-american
StevieWundaBred
Born in Africa, live in America. African American enough for me!
so when he goes to Mars he becomes a African-Martian
meredelaine
He's an American citizen.
yeah but by that logic when ol' musky goes to Mars he becomes a martian
tossabeertoyourwitcher
Only if he establishes citizenship there
superdupertrooper
He could decree himself to be King of Mars and give himself citizenship. Easy peasy.
DrunkenZebra
How is he not African-American exactly?
BruceBannersButtplug
I'd think he is African American as he has American citizenship. He has Canadian citizenship too so he's actually African-Canadian-American.
xj4low
He couldn't get an African American scholarship for college. They just look at the color of your skin.
DrSchmolls
if they don't see a picture of you and the only piece of info they have is "I consider myself to be African American/Black" what can they do
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
That doesn't mean he's not African American, that just means the scholarship is racist.

He's much more African-American than any black person born in America

Is canada not american. He is not united statesian tho.
Canada is part of America, just like USA
pgdave
Not sure he's actually revolutionized the human experience, but I hear you.

Without him you probably would see even close to the number of electric cars on the road today.
Okay but like...that hasn't actually revolutionized my experience. It's really cool! don't get me wrong, I like it - but not revolutionary.

Because it's nascent. Imagine the impact when we can ship iron in from the asteroid belt
Sure, it's *fucking awesome* and it might have an impact down the road, but it's not revolutionizing the human experience now the way 1/2

interactor
The right man in the wrong place can make all the diff-erence in the world.
He has expressed his desire to nuke Mars' poles
UnrustleYerJimmies
In order to create an atmosphere so the planet can be terraformed. Not so scary.
I know that, but dude still has super villain ideas.
Rox2
Any plan that has step 1 as "Use thermonuclear weapons on the poles" can't be all bad...
He does in fact have delusion charisma. Works, until it doesn’t. He’s been on quite a run but mars colonisation is just fucking stupid!
ColonelColon
"The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good 1)
reason to go into space - each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision." That said, it probably 2)

I have accomplished plenty thanks. But you have excluded environment and opportunity. There will be plenty of brilliant minds out there >

People are afraid of massive, fast change, Elon basically is the human incarnation of that so naturally people will look at him cautiously.
I'm afraid of any one person having that much wealth and thus, that much power. That's what I'm afraid of, not change.
people of Musk's power are a: numerous & b: have been forcing their changes on us for a long time. Musk is just more obvious & open about it
