Elon Musk and AI are (arguably) the two biggest factors that will be impacting mankind in 2025. I am more optimistic about the impact the former will have, than of the latter's.
Tesla (without which the incumbents would have probably never gathered enough resolve to move away from combustion engines to EV). Space X (dramatically lowered the price of space launches). Twitter (a platform that offers a different angle, whether you agree with it or not). Starlink (resilient Internet). And last but not least, an engaging vision for the future of mankind: colonizing Mars. Something to look forward to, something uplifting to dream of.
Put all these in the balance whenever you stumble upon something he does or says that you disagree with. I personally strongly dislike his re-branding of Twitter as stupid "X" but that is such a minor peeve when all things are considered.
Let that sink in.
