Or as I like to say to religious zealots: "You do understand that they call it "faith" for a reason, right? It's because you can't PROVE it with concrete evidence and choose to believe it anyway. It's fine to have religious faith, but because it's unprovable, you can't force others to live by it."

If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.

Larry Ellison is worth roughly $400 billion. Elon Musk is worth roughly $385 billion. Meanwhile, the minimum wage is still $7.25/hour, 86% of Americans stress over grocery prices, and most are living paycheck to paycheck.

He spent years blaming his own kid—who he falsely claims is dead; who's disowned him; who's alleged abuse even as Musk reposts fans praising his parenting daily—to avoid admitting he's so greedy he _didn't care_ how many died from COVID-19.

sethabramson.substack.comTwo Viral Essays From Longtime Elon Musk Friends Have Just—Yes, Really—Revealed Musk’s Origin Story As a Global SupervillainThe ten most stunning revelations from the Low and Harris Letters—documents unlike any other this Musk biographer has ever seen—lay bare what really happened to make Musk a threat to the world.
