But there are numerous ones that are similar.

This is getting so tiresome to have to check and recheck everything we see and hear these days. Meanwhile, the majority of people don't check and take everything at face value. We truly seem to be living in a post-truth era and it is unnerving.

As for Musk, he thinks he is some super god who is master of all he surveys, that only he can save us from some future annihilation, ironically one that he is contributing to. The hubris is stunning and terrifying.

As long as he goes first, and it's a one-way trip!
