Great technical article, but why did you feel the need to add speculative ideological polarization too it?

Elon’s motivation is clear and consistent with his modus operandi. It’s the same reason he’s working so hard to build a sustainable colony on Mars, why he’s devoted resources to understanding the potential dangers of AI super-intelligence, and why he’s so insistent on combatting climate change.
His guiding motivation is to improve humanity’s chances at a positive future.

What I was trying to do was explain my motivation for digging deep into this topic. It has nothing to do with ideological polarization, though it may be a bit speculative.. this is mainly based on Tim Urban's excellent series of articles on why Elon Musk chooses to work on the problems he does. https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/03/elon-musk-post-series.html

That's certainly one interpretation.
