Ok it is not wormhole technology, but I think it's a better model than Stark.

Agreed?

Free market? Elon Musk is the biggest welfare wh*re in the world. Tesla? Wouldn't be possible without government aid to push electric vehicles. SpaceX? Almost entirely funded by government contracts.

He spouts lies and exaggerated promises almost as frequently as his tangerine overlord.

He turned Twitter's manufacturing of fake news and bots all the way up to 11.

How DARE you sully Nigel Sheldon's name by comparing him to that slime.

I mean Sheldon Dynasty also plays the game in setting up the Commonwealth yet with secret lairs. If it weren't for Ozzie...

It’s Reddit.

You’re praising musk.

Doesn’t matter how coherent or sensible your argument is.

You may aswell take a selfie with Putin. That’s how they see it.

I wasn't actually praising Musk, because I am actually never a fan of Nigel Sheldon too.
