Haha, I saw someone already selling elon salute stickers to put on Teslas. I kind of feel bad for anyone who bought one used or a long time ago.

Don’t feel bad. If you bought one in the last 8 years, you weren’t paying attention because he had already called the diver who rescued the soccer team trapped in a cave in Thailand a pedophile because they refused to use his horrible, horrible submarine idea. The man has always been megalomaniac.

everyone of the top 1% has to be a megalomaniac. openly supporting nazis and displaying their symbols is an entirely different thing.

I’d raise the bar to top 0.1%, or better yet, not make it an absolute cutoff. Physicians and engineers fall in the 1% and I have to believe many of them are highly skilled, driven by subject matter, and desire to do good for humanity.

Many, sure. But the number of qualified doctors in my area shilling antivax nonsense has colored my perception.
