    People arenā€™t fundamentally racist, stuck up or bigoted.

    Yes, at least some of them are. Donā€™t be this naive. You could make the argument even that most of MAGA are EcOnOmiCalLy AnXIoUs but (trigger warning: Godwinā€™s Law) so were most nazis. SOME people really are like that.

    There was once a time, very brief, when Elon Musk wasnā€™t a complete jackass. A brief time when people were watching rocket starts with awe that instilled hope in them.

    That was called marketing and it sold a lot of Teslas. No one who will do a nazi salute is capable of delivering the utopia future you describe. Anyone who would do a nazi salute is definitively always a jackass.

    Otherwise I agree and really do appreciate this kind of hopefulness. I really think what youā€™re saying is correct and important. Itā€™s just, well, those two SLIGHT bits of contentionā€¦ Sorry.
