Didn't give a damn about workers' health at his plant. Lobbied against covid restriction.
He and his mother should be ashamed. And Pete Davidson is an idiot for not understanding why other cast members were pissed about Musk hosting

Then I heard this podcast about John DeLorean (The DeLorean was the car used for the time machine in Back to the Future).

That didn't end well, and I doubt Musk's story is going to be much better.

(The DeLorean sure was a pretty car though.)

This was before Back to the Future, so the cars were mostly considered duds. For some reason Mom had the chance to buy one - Mom, who not the adventurous, sports car type - and seriously considered buying it. She decided against it, mostly because she and Dad only had a two car garage and they already had two cars.

It would have been so cool if she had gotten it and kept it for the rest of her life. Owning a DeLorean at 90+ would have the epitome of fun.

Is it really just a coincidence that both the DeLorean car and the SpaceX Starship are made of stainless-steel??
