  • I know this is damning to admit here, but back when I was willing to watch Joe Rogan I distinctly remember during Elon’s episode (the one where he hit a joint and tanked Tesla stock, not the latest one), the topic went to electric airplanes. Elon was talking technical about it and Joe was sitting there wide-eyed like he was revealing the secrets of the weave of the universe, sure that aerospace was going to be revolutionized by this man.

    Maybe I’m the stupid one here, but I’m pretty sure he was just talking about how airfoils generate lift. You know, the stuff the Wright brothers figured out in the 19-aughts. Its in high school physics textbooks.

    Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if developed countries start refusing entry even to educated Americans on general principle. We fucking suck, and we’ve burned a lot of what little good will we have as a people.

    And even if you did get in, you would probably have to deal with that animosity from the locals.

    I think the seeming lack of bad will against him stems from the fact that he didn’t kill anyone but himself. Just a righteous (or rather self-righteous) rampage of property damage.

    …except that he absolutely intended to kill people considering the arsenal of firearms and shooting ports in his contraption.
