Cars have to be autonomous or it will be the end of mankind.

We have to go to Mars or it will be the end of mankind.

Make more babies or it will be the end of mankind.

Vote for Trump or it will be the end of mankind.

Like another blowhard.

It's a shame no one has introduced Musk to a ball-peen hammer.

Too quick. A little 2-pounder ball-peen working him over slowly.

Elon Musk is a fucking idiot. His understanding of economics is as deep as his knowledge of AI, rocketry, and electric cars, which is near zero. He knows a few buzzwords.

It is astonishing how long people have let this mucus-brained dipshit yank them around.

If Musk is such a genius, why do his electric cars still have hydraulic brakes?

Or why have his cars been recalled so many times?

Trump and Musk are both specimens of the same phenomena, people attributing skill to successful people on account of a belief in meritocratic ideologies. People have for a long time tried to determine what traits lead to success, largely in vain, as there don't appear to be identifiable traits which can predict success. All the same, people believe that where there's smoke, there's fire, when it comes to success. Sometimes there's just smoke.
