        That is very true. Or a Steve Jobs. Lots of rarified men out there happy to take credit for things other people created.

      I really miss ten years ago, when I had a faint glimmer of hope that he might not be a complete piece of shit. He really showed his character with the “pedo guy” debacle and has been on a steep downward trajectory since.

      With the recent threats against Greta Thunburg, I like to remind people that Tesla provided her a car that she spent a significant part of a year touring the USA in some time ago.

      Then Elon took off his mask.

      UPDATE: while she did have use of a Tesla, it was provided by Arnold Schwarzenegger not Tesla/Musk.
