Anecdote: my wife wanted to trade up from a 3 to a Y. We won't so long as Elon is involved.

I also have an "Occupy Mars" shirt. It was one thing to bandwagon onto some topical events by a CEO who was touting Tesla's 100/100 lgbt friendliness rating and progressing toward human exploration, then one seig heiling and throwing the whole government into disarray and betraying our allies.

Personally the "Occupy Mars" thing rubbed me the wrong way when it came out. The message seemed to be "don't worry about inequality or the rise of the oligarchy because it'll get humans to Mars."

I hope we can now all see that

1) it won't get us to mars but

2) it will bring us a total-recall like dystopia.
