Lol. Leaving aside Musk for a moment, the 'intrepid amateurs' they're probably thinking of are the Victorian and Edwardian gentlemen of leisure who engaged in science and various forms of inquiry. Some of them made great breakthroughs, but they were products of a patriarchal, class-riven society.

Shereen has lost most of her extended family and her husband recently (while holding her son) had a chain from an Israeli aircraft fall on him and shatter his arm/ give him a head injury- luckily little Ahmed was safe. She started this fundraiser after this happened because he can no longer help
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shereen. Shereen and her husband (a house painter) fled their home early in the war thinking it would only be for 2 days. She lost everything as well as many family members. Her main concern is getting her son, Ahmed, 4 into a kindergarten.
