Elon is part of the military industrial complex, WASHINGTON - A $70 million contract the U.S. Space Force awarded to SpaceX for Starlink internet services includes “unique terms and conditions” not included in previous commercial contracts.
As someone involved in conflicts before, I can tell you that the sad tragedy is that those making decisions, for the rest of humankind, have never been exposed to the horrors of war, but simply to sitting behind a screen, enriching their pockets. Sadly, the military-industrial complex has way too many fingers in the pockets of so many politicians. Speak to a service member from any major Army, and they will tell you that they chose diplomacy before war. We know the effects.
I was in southern Germany during the Syrian refugee crisis when 1 million refugees crossed the southern border. What I can say about the situation is that it was clear these people had been significantly traumatized. There was a lot of violence and fear. It was around the time of the Paris bombing. What the west didn't see was all the smaller bombings, attacks at train stations, rapes. War has tertiary effects beyond the destruction of buildings & bases, it destroys the lives of all involved, especially the innocent. It radicalizes people and is self perpetuating. War is terrible and should be avoided if at all possible. I pray for more responsible leaders alas the ones we elect almost never leave their ivory towers and only think of their monetary gain. Something has to change.
If people knew more about history they'd be much more against war.
My Grandfather was a bomber pilot for the RCAF in World war two , most of his friends died too at a very young age. He was lucky to survive doing raids over Germany and he never wanted to talk about it either . Great strong man but in no way did he want to ever relive the horrors that he witnessed. He only talked about it to other veterans who were there . That kind of shit haunts you forever. War is pain and horrific suffering and if youre lucky a quick death. Why are we still so stupid?
Elon gotta be lex's favorite person.
I understand it. There's a bunch of guys in the US that spent time doing multiple tours in America's longest wars. So there's more than u think. Most who have always say we want to focus on our own house and stay out of foreign wars.
I’m hoping a Sentient AI would understand the destruction of the environment and waste of resources in the construction of military apparatus, as well as the destruction of the environment and resources in its application. Just as a practical matter (aside from the ethical considerations), it would do what it could to prevent war, not by force, but by disrupting supply chains, communications, and financial transactions that enable the military machines throughout the world.
Thank you 🙏 💖💖💖
He’s a military contractor!!!!
Was really hoping he would have talked more about the actual military industrial complex especially considering he is a part of it ! The names that Lex puts on the videos are often misleading.
I think it was Plato who said that it's easy to get men to go to war but it's difficult to get men to go
What’s the con cern?
Elon is avoiding the question. Lex asked him several times. Maybe spaceX is part of it all
“Civilization is transmissive. We are always one generation away from the dark ages.”
As a combat vet. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to go back.
The US has had wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in recrnt memory. We have vets who understand war who are still in fighting age.
Who pulled out the US of the nuclear treat?
He isnt talking about the military industrial complex , its the supply chain in your phones components
