How many of you knew this?...
Every single patent Musk came up with for his Tesla operation...HE OPEN SOURCED THE PATENTS......
OPEN SOURCE...
........In that, HE DOES NOT OWN THEM. They are PUBLIC.
THIS is the guy that just bought Twitter.
You know what? If he says he's gonna open source Twitter, I am leaning towards believing him.
I did hear this years back. His reasoning behind it was that not doing so and keeping your advancements to yourself was counterproductive for the progress of technology and thus civilization. Everything I've seen from Musk indicates that he truly wants nothing more than to see humanity advance, survive and thrive. All according to his personal definition these things, of course.
I personally would like to see our civilization take a step back from technology, reconnect with nature and simplify things in a massive way. Slow down. But that doesn't necessarily mean we should stop finding ways to ensure humanity survives in the event of a massive cataclysm on earth. Otherwise we're just waiting for the next ice age and the floods that follow, or something else to bring us right back to square one and we start again as hunter gatherers. Some may think that's the way it's meant to be, but eventually there will be an extinction level event like the Chicxulub impact and there won't be 2 humans left on the face of the earth let alone groups large enough to repopulate the planet.
There is evidence that we may have had advanced civilizations on earth in the distant past. These were wiped out and mankind ended up in the dark ages. The evidence that remains is being uncovered slowly and is still considered fringe archaeology. Cities and structures underwater in the med, off the coast of Japan and in the Waters off the Americas. It is interesting and means we need a way to start expanding the race off this planet and start colonizing other planets and solar systems. If we don't we are virtually guaranteed to repeat this cycle or become extinct.
Funny, I'm currently listening to Graham Hancock's "America Before" speech as I prepare to go to sleep.

"We're a species with amnesia"
Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson are my favourite discoveries of the past few years. Incredible. Undeniable.
The official narrative of mainstream archaeology is an absolute joke and was demolished by the discovery of Gobekli Tepe.
Nitpick for him: I don't think we have amnesia, I think we have a Satanic brain parasite. If Christ could come rid us of it, we'd be golden. Until then, were stuck in a tug-o-war.
That's Musk's line of thinking for colonizing Mars, in essence.
