I mean, we're depicting a period that was 100 years earlier here.

A group of medieval reenactors, wearing brightly dyed wools and white linens.

Musk did not found Tesla. I have no idea why clearly intelligent people like Prof Zucman fall into this very basic error, time and time again.

The first trillionaire himself couldn’t illustrate it better. Tesla, the company Musk founded in 2003, didn’t turn a profit until 2020. This didn’t prevent

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
