I don’t get how these two can be friends if Elon is truly concerned for humanity
You just answered your own question. He isn't.
He's just another rich fuck at the top of the pyramid - like Murdoch. What logically follows is that his interests are mostly aligned with that of Murdoch's. What are Murdoch's material interests? Many of those ought to be shared by Musk.
It's always good to put things in perspective, too: People like the presidents of the United States are never as rich as Musk or as Murdoch - doesn't matter what president you're talking about. So presidents are below in the pyramid. Another perspective: Entertainers like Rihanna are also much lower in the $ pyramid than Elon and Murdoch as well. Yet another perspective: whomever the best payed players in the NFL are, they are also much lower in the pyramid than Elon and Murdoch.
Elon and Murdoch could have easily been the richest guys in the stadium that night. By a long long long mile.
And then aaaall the way below all of them, in the pyramid, there's people like us.
But there's still a lot more people who are below us too.
