    Elon Musk trying to sink a Christopher Nolan movie was honestly the funniest and dumbest course of action he could have taken. He’s one of the most popular filmmakers alive and now it proves Elon and his fanboys have no real cultural impact outside of X

    I should also add that when the movie got to showing people burning Teslas and vandalizing dealerships, the theater of mostly older folks in Santa Monica started applauding. I think it is possible Trump and Musk turned libs over 50 into John Brown.

    I should add that in addition to being much funnier than anticipated--Musk is going to be intensely humiliated by this movie, it's going to attack the deepest wounds he tries so hard to conceal--it is also bone-chilling. I think he gutted USAID with DOGE to kill masses of people in the third world.
