I want to mention the fact the Elon Musk actually supports the Travel ban, but maybe because he has govt contracts with NASA, and wants more contracts and money.
Sad to see him stoop to that level.
This is just not true. His tweet specifically said this was not the best way forward. I appreciate that you have strong opinions, but just because you don't think he's taking a strong enough stand doesn't mean you can put words in his mouth.
It's also interesting to note which elite universities are not present as signatories. Notice that Caltech is missing. I'm curious about whether that is due to the significant funding they effectively receive as the managers of JPL and are concerned about retribution.
It's indefensible IMO not to stand behind their community, many of whom are Iranian.
Musk doesn't support it and if he stays true to his business interests wouldn't. He is a capitalist. He would support brain drain from other countries into his, where presumably as one of the leaders in technology, he would have a better talent pool of labor to hire from, rather than compete against abroad.
