    Electric vehicles and space exploration are two things that need to happen for humanity’s long term survival. It isn’t gullibility to applaud someone for moving either thing forward, even if they’re just the money guy. We live in a capitalist society, that is just what was going to happen short of another FDR or JFK restoring trust in American government.

    It’s ignoring the evidence afterwards that is the problem, and you didn’t, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
