Saw a matte green Tesla with a late 2024 registration plate and a bumper sticker saying “I bought this before we knew Elon was nuts”
My man, in 2024 musk had already destroyed twitter, was already promoting the far right AfD party in germany, Tommy Robinson in the uk, bribing voters for Trump in swing states, talking about what DOGE would do when Trump won the election… Like why bother with the pretense?
TBF I was visiting the south coast of the UK a few miles away from the recent Balaklava protests over migrants in dinghies so perhaps none of the above qualify as “nuts” from this particular genius’ perspective.
What a tool.

Elon did his ‘oops I did an antisemitism’ tour in jan 2024, so indeed. (Also really dire to hear that tour from the side of the survivor they had talked into joining, also note Elons ‘anti sniper’ shield he is carrying around his neck).

I saw a Cybertruck yesterday that was painted bright green. I did not think there was a way to make those things any uglier, but I guess I was wrong.

I remember the day my very last bit of grudging engineering respect counterweighting my disdain for the man left my body. October 2017, the day he claimed on a big presentation that Starship would bankrupt airliners by flying 1000 people per ship between world cities several times a day.
