The media is such a wiener for Elon Musk.

The dude will say baseless nonsense like "in ten years every one will have telekinesis" and it'll be a headline with no skepticism.

Besides being an actual Nazi, he also has been wrong about everything for a decade. We aren't on mars, the hyperloop is a single-lane tunnel in one city, AI is still broken, and DOGE somehow added cost while reducing services.

He's an idiot. Stop quoting him like anything he says is meaningful.

@rorystarr @cstross : He’s not an idiot: he managed to become the richest man on earth by making absurd promises.

The idiots are those who believed him. This includes the media and those who still trust those medas.

@ploum @cstross he's definitely an idiot. He understands how to manipulate insecure men, sure, but he also is an idiot.
