After listening to Elon’s recent interview , there are two interesting ways he comments about Philantropy. He asks the question, what is the most effective causes to give but also argues that Tesla, Space X, Boring Company are causes for Philantropy (love for humanity).
This question is about understanding whether building a company is more philantropic than donating to causes. This tweet expresses frustration with the EA philosophy of giving to causes. How can you diffuse this take?
Elon’s Indefinite vs Definite Optimism

In my view, what Musk says is not in conflict with effective altruism, unlike what the tweet claims.
