John,

See "Bill's latest blog." It's right there. Standard Trump bash. "greatest threat to democracy"

And,
I know that the tribe has told you that you are required to hate all-things-Musk because he wont condemn Trump's tweets, but no one single person alive has done more to re-engineer away from fossil fuel and provide a path out of climate change issues than he has.

He created a major car mfg out of thin air. And it is EV's.
he is on the cutting edge of solar and battery storage
Those alone are wonderful achievements, but also...

He is on the cutting edge of space travel.
He is on the cutting edge of neuro-bio-engineering.
He has got a machine that bores tunnels.
And who knows what else.

College professors/futurists find their niche and then try to bring attention to themselves as much as possible.
Musk follows his curiosities and the world's attention follows him because of his extraordinary and relevant achievements.
Your guru makes predictions about what Musk is actually doing.

If you want to know what is going on with anything tech, look to Musk. He is strange enough to actually tell you the truth.
