I might not be correct, but my view is far from narrow. Narrow views are shared by those who think they “know” things for sure. I stick to probability based on my own logic.

I think, you are right about money controlling everything. Who has access to printing money & rigging markets? Who has control of infrastructure & access to payment systems like PayPal?

You can simply say Access to space is not difficult, but how many of the so called “non” governmental companies have deep government connections. I’d bet every single one of them. How long have these companies been talking about civilian space trips again? For some reason they never happen.

I also agree the world is far too complicated for any human to understand, including Elon musk. I also agree it is logical that there are competing factions vying for power dominated by sociopathic types.

Why is Elon different? His Rhetoric? Or Because he is an anointed hi priest of the space propaganda club & will lead us peons to new planets after we destroy ours? I’m all for electric cars but all the space propaganda humanity saving talk is smoke & mirrors in my “narrow” view.

I guess if I just believe everything the nice honest billionaires like Musk say, I & all of humanity will be ok, never mind that we are completely destroying our only home, we will have a savior & some new science fiction to watch & cheer for.
