  • but somehow almost all of the racists are Republican.

    Completely disagree. Maybe Republicans are more vocally racist, but there are way too many racists within the Democratic Party to act like most of them are Republican.

    Ignoring problems within the Democratic party doesn’t help me in any way. Helping the Democrats doesn’t help me, because they don’t believe in defeating Republicans, they want to collaborate with them. I lost faith in the Democratic Party 26 years ago when they accepted Bush stealing the election; and they’ve done nothing to restore it.

    I think the opposite. I think Musk is actually one of the smartest rich guys. Not that I think Musk is smart, but most of these fuckers seem even stupider.

    Like Musk has actually moved tech forward… not because he has any particularly unique insights, just because all the other rich guys were scared of electric cars.


  • The first time I ever heard of Musk was in 2007 when he was boosting the hyperloop. I don’t know anything about hyperloops, but I know a lot about trains. Musk was arguing that trains were outdated and the hyperloop was better and cheaper because it was new. I just remember thinking, “how is experimental, untested tech going to be cheaper than off-the-shelf railroad tech? And this guy is supposed to be smart?”
