Elon Musk: We Don’t Want Earth to Turn Into Downtown San Francisco

Elon Musk: We don't want all of Earth to be like downtown San Francisco.

“There are certainly still many nice parts of San Francisco. But the downtown core is basically a dead zone. Frankly, some of the areas where there's no people at all might be worse than the parts where the zombies are, because it's actually bleaker. It's just empty.

We clearly don't want to have a world where that policy is amplified to Earth. We don't want all of Earth to be like downtown SF. You can see where the policies lead, and evidence is right here.

It's one thing if the damage radius of an ideology is limited geographically to a 10-mile radius or something like that, which is what a niche ideology would be limited to geographically.

But if you have something like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok to some degree, it's effectively a mind virus megaphone to Earth.”
