Nop, not because of Elon Musk per se. I would have lost my judgment and go "ad-hominem" if it was another person as well. I just hate the argument "He's just helping for PR, while I seat my ass doing nothing"

You conveniently cut short my phrase, when quoting, just to push the argument that I'm a Musk fanboy...

So, this is the second time you've said I don't do anything. There is no reason to be rude. My work is in scientific reesarch, and I've worked on projects that made significant improvements to drug discovery, possibly saving millions of lives.

"My work is in scientific reesarch..."

Good for you, but that wasn't what I meant. "Do nothing" in regards with the current situation, not in general.

I said above I didn't think this was a situation where anybody should do anything. It's 12 people in a cave. In the global context, that's noise. this is just classic news turning minor events into global news.
