    I would be extremely surprised if EM hadn’t already thought about and talked this with his team. Pretty sure I even saw that he or another space rocket company was working on a model whose goal was to orbit and pick up debris as it went. 

    Edit: to add to this, this wouldn’t be an altruistic act. Space debris is no good for a satellite company.

    Yeah, certainly not a drop of altruism in that man's body. He has 79% voting control of Starlink which alone has 6,764 satellites in orbit and they plan on eventually having 42,000 in its network.  But no plans to clean up space junk that I know of.
    I did some reading up on removing space debris.  There are some proposed methods, but nothing is being done about it thus far.  If a big enough event were to occur like ISS get smashed, that could easily lead to jump starting the Kessler Syndrome and civilization as we know it would collapse fairly quickly.  It's odd to me that me here so little about this.

    Clever and smart are too different things.  Smart people don't want to destroy democracy and ruin the planet.

    Plenty of smart people don't have the first damn clue how to run a government or about the government itself. Shutting a bunch of stuff down in deference to ideology is not how to run a government (or a social media site for that matter) and it's not smart.

    Calling for the defunding of an agency that gets no government funds (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1864310957973098571) is not smart; it's just ideological bloviating and any action taken as a result is flat stupid.

    I honestly don't know whether he's smart or not. But he's not approaching any of this in a smart way.

    Well said. 
    Being clever (or even "smart", depending on how you define that) does no necessarily relate to the quality of ones mind.  Engaging in aimless, reckless, harmful, and/or greedy behavior is not a characteristic of a quality mind.

    For speaking his mind?  Could be.  But more people need to do that.  Either that or roll over and watch the country go to hell (assuming it's never too late to save it from itself).

    that UFC fighter also doesn't believe in space. No, fucking really. He thinks the stars and the planets are faked lights in the sky.
