Musk is a 'paid agitator' for environmentally responsible consumption, for the benefits of interplanetary civilization. For, generally, Silicon Valley's ethos of progress. It does not discredit him. Readers here know that intellectual & ideological workers labor as much as any farm or factory hand. To pay them does not impugn their sincerity (nor would their volunteerism imply idealism). Open source software may be malicious, closed source software commendable.

Musk is a thoughtful capitalist: the above notion has occurred to him. He speaks cynically. Though a paid agitator for shareholder value, I had thought him until now sincere. Disappointing!
