fair enough, but didn't Elon specifically say he didn't care about the economics of the whole endeavor? Doesn't this, essentially, underpin the whole endeavor?

Most of what he's saying makes sense to me as well. But isn't he a rich capitalist dude, who greatly benefited from the rise of the mentioned platforms?

Thus incentivizing him greatly to take the decisions motivated by money and not some imaginary neutrality or "fight the bad behaviors" concept? He mentioned this tangentially right before delving into how hard those jobs are which one absolutely doesn't have to take.

So to me, the whole thread is like "running social platforms and making a lot of money is tricky, because a lot of people will rightfully hate you, but you still need to make the money, so... poor Elon?" I don't think so.

p.s. I would also prefer Elon to work on spaceships, cars, leaving social platforms to run for somebody else

>No, the one being scammed has the weakest odds. The "traveler" could in fact be a local scammer who sabotages a property and then has various ways (which I won't detail) for turning a profit

Respectfully, I don't see these ways. Could you please at least a bit elaborate? Changes request always go through the host approval process. Are you talking about intentionally damaging the property?
