    People aren’t fundamentally racist, stuck up or bigoted.

    Yes, at least some of them are. Don’t be this naive. You could make the argument even that most of MAGA are EcOnOmiCalLy AnXIoUs but (trigger warning: Godwin’s Law) so were most nazis. SOME people really are like that.

    There was once a time, very brief, when Elon Musk wasn’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 you’re saying is correct and important. It’s just, well, those two SLIGHT bits of contention… Sorry.
