        I haven’t been able to come up with a good explanation yet. Previously, I thought it was just plain stupidity and ignorance. Now, I think it might have something to do with the way media manipulates the masses. Still not satisfied with my own explanation though. Is it the culture? Modern tribalism? Cognitive biases? Who knows.

      I had bet a couple of months ago that Elon would eventually be Trump’s fall guy for this.
