Elon repeatedly said he's fine with sacrifices made for the sake of progress. It's just that he thinks others should be doing sacrifices and he should be the guy doing progress. Very convenient for a narcissistic manbaby.
The death toll of other people isn't relevant to them. What's important to Elon is that if Elon wanted he could go to either city and have a wonderful time, and therefore no harm, no foul. All that matters to Elon is what Elon thinks and feels, there is no larger world beyond what he directly interacts with.
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”
The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it’s OK, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me.”
So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. “The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.”
To this the stranded man said, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety.”
To this the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me drown. I don’t understand why!”
To this God replied, “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?”
This post appears to show that they're arguing that nuclear bombs "aren't that bad", as it's missing the important context that they're actually talking about the safety of nuclear power — or, rather, they're arguing that nuclear power isn't as dangerous as people might think — by using the lingering radiation from the nuclear bombings as an example.
I want to be clear that I'm not arguing that their argument is sound, but this post is bordering on disinformation.
