LEX FRIDMAN: ELON IS DRIVEN BY AN EMPATHY FOR HUMANITY “It's not an addiction to risk and drama. There's always a big mission above it. So I would say it's an empathy towards people in the big picture.” Source: Lex Fridman

So how do you end child poverty? Turns out it isn't socialism, record tax, record spending, record bureaucrats and record debt It is taking a chainsaw to the wasteful state, surplus and deregulation
