Certainly.

But there’s no denying that the man will probably go down as one of the most influential people of his generation, if not the last few hundred years.

“Resources”

Money only matters because we all agree it does at this time.

Scarcity of a resource gives it a great value. The irony is that the most scarce resource is our time/lives which we are wasting for money.

It may not be money but there will be something else to take its place.

If you think he’s rich now, just wait for the SpaceX IPO next year.

Money is simply a mechanism to store the value of time. Man’s greatest invention.

It will just remove any pretense of scarcity for gold and collapse the gold market.

Hypothetically perhaps, yet gold's properties are unmatched in creating reliable electronic circuits, and other industrial and medical applications.

ETA: but I'd really like to see cows in low/no gravity.


Imagine how tender the wagyu would be. Very low muscle mass in the meat due to lack of gravity.
