Elon Musk's illegal ransacking of the US Government has set in place the unavoidable deaths of children. That cannot now be undone. That is his legacy to the world. Further reinforcement that for all his money, Musk is an inherently stupid person* * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_M...

A graph showing the relationship of Cipolla's two factors: Benefits and losses that individuals cause to themselves, and benefits and losses that individuals cause to others. This leads to four groups of people: Helpless people contribute to society but are taken advantage of by it; Intelligent people contribute to society and leverage their contributions into personal benefits; Stupid people are counterproductive to both their and others' interests; Bandits pursue their own self-interest even when this poses a net detriment to societal welfare. An additional category of ineffectual people either exists in its own right or can be considered to be in the center of the graph.
