Summary
Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. This is not a serious person, but his abuse of the world is deadly serious. In the months that followed, public health models would indicate Musk was a killer, at a far greater scale than any Coen brothers villain. A tracker co-created by Boston University professor Brooke Nichols projected over 780,000 deaths, mostly of children, many of infants the kind that would prevent any rational, kind person from giving power to anyone capable of it. After his reign of terror at DOGE ignobly ended in a fizzle, Musk walked away from government with the same kind of careless indifference that marked his tenure. Musk hasn’t fully moved on from government; he still needs those federal contracts for SpaceX, now more than ever.
