the population of the earth is growing and as far as I know shows no signs of slowing. Anyone upset about birthrates is only worried that the "wrong people" are having kids.

The population growth is slowing. And is looking like it will continue to do with.

The overall numbers are still increasing, but not by as much as they used to be. It's still several decades off yet due to population lag, but it will be likely that there will be a population reduction due to the declining birthrate.

No issue with anything else said, but confused by this length of time for communications. Unless messages are getting backlogged or something. I don't know if there would be bandwidth concerns from Earth to Mars, would not surprise me though, but still I would think message delay would not be that long?

Yeah mars is 1.5 Astronimical units from the sun, so roughly 0.5 AU from earth. It takes about 8 minutes for EM waves to hit earth from the sun, so about 4 mins to send radio signal to earth.

it is usually much much longer than 4 minutes

i think a ship arriving at mars via hohmann transfer would be looking at over 15 minutes of comm lag

Best I can tell, he did some programming in the early PayPal days, but it was poor quality. After that he made a series of good investments and built out his Tony Stark persona to sell them.

In the past he was smart enough not to run his businesses into the ground, possibly by listening to smarter people around him.

I’ve wondered about this quite a bit, because while the world definitely isn’t a meritocracy, you don’t become the richest person in the world without at least doing something right.

What is Elom’s creepiest attribute? It’s gotta be his obsession with birthrates. Obviously that’s fueling all his posts that are just dogwhistles. But the IVF impregnated VP of his Neuralink company? That’s some twisted psycho nightmare fuel. That belongs in the backstory character bios of an N64 horror-themed game.

Sure, he %100 had a huge early boost, but his dad didn’t direct his investments or all the other stuff I listed. So many people gently caress up being born into money.

The guy got to his current place somehow.

I think 99% of it is just rich boy inertia. The system is built of, by and for people like Elon so that they can't fail; no matter how much of an Apartheid failidiot they are.
