Absolutely unhinged take. Most people just want healthcare, affordable groceries, and a vacation dude. I think Musk has a better chance of being guillotined in the next 20 years than he does sending his consciousness into space.

That'll be true of anyone no matter how much money they have, there's a reason those lines are being sold for votes. There's no end to them and people will always want more, it's not a true goal to work for. Somehow enough people don't understand basic economics enough that they really think taking Elon's "money" (estimated net worth with a million asterisks) will change any of the above for everyone.
