back in university for engineering, elon was revered by my classmates as a genius who revolutionized electric vehicle travel. i don’t know enough about cars or the key differences between internal combustion and electric motors, so i took them at their word for it.
then i started getting invites to watch spacex launches, being told that he’s revolutionized space travel and we would be travelling to the moon commercially in my lifetime. i don’t know enough about space travel to say whether or not that’s true, so i took them at their word for it and cheered on some rocket explosions with my friends
then elon bought twitter, and started talking about how he would revolutionize social media. i happen to know a great deal about software, and let me tell you, this dumb prick says some of the stupidest shit i’ve ever heard about application development . it was at that moment that i reevaluated my opinion on tesla and spacex, and rightly labelled elon as the con artist he is
