"The people voted for major reform."

What they got was a pocket-lining idiot, and genuinely one of the most morally bankrupt people I've ever known of as his tech right-hand man. Musk is a moral imbecile, a 13-year old incel trapped in the body of an overweight mid-50s mess. Yes, he's been involved in some great things (SpaceX and Tesla), but he thinks that translates into a god-like ability to do anything and that he's right about everything.

These numbers don't even stand up to casual scrutiny. And I'm from the UK so it doesn't really directly affect me (although the orange idiot's shenanigans have done so to a small degree). But if you really believe this site, you're divorced from reality, and maybe drinking the same kool-aid that the tech muppets who are on DOGE are.

Like when this space youtuber suggested a change to his Mars rocket and he understood, accepted the validity of the idea, and decided to implement it on the spot? Er, I guess that's the opposite of what you said.

    That's a single example (which I'm aware of and pretty sure it wasn't just them that said it - I was thinking the same when they took the original route) compared with the thousands of counter examples of bad ideas, such as completely unserviceable batteries, vehicle structures which are easy for the factory to make but can't be repaired for moderate-level damage (due to the megacastings rather than individual elements for the same structure), removal of ultrasonic parking detectors, etc....
