Reality check: Chai stands exist in India. When somebody tries to shame us for buying a whole coffee, each week, what he's really saying is that we're out of line for aspiring to even a Third World standard of living.
Violent revolutions have been provoked by humbler attitudes than that one.

The question with Musk is whether he really is as dumb as he pretends to be. Maybe he fakes it, in order to win the support a large, weaponisable base of fan boy idiots.
Notice how he's being treated like a hero by millions while basically saying that he should be free to steal the work of others?

And there are people who want to fly with Elon to Mars. Using chemical rockets that will take seven months to get there, to a place where those same chemical rockets won't be able to get to again until the planets are back in the right position, two years later.
What could possibly go wrong?

Which somehow will be hastened if others can not be manipulated into making the choices about their own medical care that you would personally like?
That IS what this "research" was about. The desire to control the thoughts of others is as totalitarian as anything can be.

Just thought I'd mention that the moderators marked your comment as "rude" and hid it behind an interstitial warning.
Not endorsing that label, just giving you a heads up.

"In real life, not to be confused with this fantasy world you've moved into, US forces are far stronger than those of all of the other NATO allies put together.
The notion that we are made safer by our presence in NATO doesn't pass a straight face test."

This becomes particularly funny (in a rage-inducing sort of way) when one goes over to Gab, meets the Putin supporters on their home turf, and see how many of them have such wonderful things to say about a certain minor Austrian painter who ran Germany during the early 1940s.
This is not a joke.
