I can see Elon wants to make our planet beautiful like Mars.

I'd prefer it if he just emigrated, though.

Feel like maybe I should repost it every day.

On the one hand, the internet never forgets anything.

On the other, social media are private property and any account can be suspended in seconds and deleted forever, as users have no rights.

You deserve it - you have done so many different things, and all of them so well.
