    People are saying that didn’t happen, but I genuinely remember when I would constantly see sentiment that he would save the human race back in like, 2012?

    It was a majority opinion in tech and liberal circles.

      Yeah, I remember all that, I just don’t remember him being part of the “new atheist” group that was popular around that time. Mostly it was the cars and “colonizing” Mars…nothing to do at all with religion or lack thereof, really.

        I remember having the impression he was an atheist too for some reason, maybe it was some next level PR trying to make him seem like a super logical tech bro with big dreams and the means to achieve them.
