 Who would’ve thought I’d be on Elon Musk’s side in 2023, but I totally back him in this argument he apparently had with Google’s Larry Page in 2013:

He [Page] accused Musk of being a “specist,” someone who was biased in favor of their own species. “Well, yes, I am pro-human,” Musk responded. “I f-cking like humanity, dude.”

 @efc162a0, what’s the argument (I don’t understand it)? What do you like about speciesism?
