    “There are more people that die in Europe from heat deaths than people that die from gun deaths in America. Why aren’t you writing an article about air conditioning?” asked Musk.

    “Well, we’ve done several on air conditioning, and we had on our cover last week a whole long piece about…” said Beddoes.

    “Pro-air conditioning?” Musk asked sheepishly.

    “Very pro-air conditioning,” she responded. “You should read us sometime.”

    It’s kind of the perfect moment. Musk throws out some meaningless gotcha and then asks why the media isn’t talking about something that he’s become hyperfocused on. In his ignorance, he demonstrates they actually are writing about the thing he cares about. And he just looks like an idiot.

    I especially liked this part. The video of this exchange is even better! He thinks he’s sooooo smart with these middle school level retorts…

      I came to make my own comment on this. In a vast amount of stupid shit he’s said this might still be the dumbest thing.

      Home grown tomatoes are like an entirely different fruit, they taste so, so, so much better than any store tomatoes I’ve ever had.

      It’s hard to even eat store bought now after growing our own.

      This is so outrageous it completely undermines his entire point.

      The superiority of homegrown tomatoes is like THE universally agreed upon gardening fact that everyone who’s ever had a garden knows. People go their whole lives thinking they don’t like tomatoes or that they taste bland and then they try a homegrown one and they’re like “Wow, that’s what this is supposed to taste like?”

      My neice apparently “hated” tomatos until she tried a cherry from my greenhouse. She ate six of them and every time she came over patted the outside of the greenhouse singing “mato mato mato please”

      Most store sold tomatoes aren’t allowed to ripen on their own and their flavours are totally messed up as a result

        This is what many people need to learn and it applies to many varieties of fruit. Most fruits can’t ripen after being picked. They just soften and rot.

        He’s correct about The Culture being an amazing vision of how humanity’s future could look like. He’s absolutely off his rocker about how to get there

        The Culture IS “fully automated luxury queer space communism”, that’s just a straight-up summary of it. In The Culture:

        • it’s communism. There’s not even money.
        • everyone can “gland” drugs for pleasure, performance or to change their sex. How the fuck does that match Musk’s anti-trans shit?
        • diversity permeates everything; obviously internally, but also externally, as they try to get along with everyone who isn’t a galactic imperialist threat. How the hell does that match Musk’s xenophobia?

        It’s weird how Musk seems to basically be a tankie: he wants to achieve communism by any means necessary …

          Honestly it’s batshit that anyone can read The Culture and NOT understand the entire point is that The Culture persists and succeeds where others fail because of it’s values and diversity. Very much including those constant sex changes and anarcho-communism/socialism.

          Hell, the Idiran war (for those not familiar, a horrible war that takes place in the first book and the rest of the books in various ways deal with the fallout and trauma from it) is entirely about fighting a jingoistic, imperialist force before they gather enough strength to inevitably destroy the culture.

          This tells me that either Elon has never actually read them, or that he’s a moron.

          Probably both.

            A common mistake readers make is that they believe the Vavatch orbital is Culture. It’s very definitely not, so all the unsavory stuff going on there isn’t a reflection of the Culture. Not Damage, not the Eaters (they hate The Culture!), and so on.

            Use of Weapons, Consider Phlebas, and to a lesser degree Player of Games are mostly outsider perspectives of The Culture, so that warps judgement a little too.

            IDK if Iain Banks could have made it clearer that Vavatch is non-Culture. I guess us only knowing drones and orbitals from The Culture made some readers conflate the two societies despite their extreme moral differences.

                The Culture doesn’t believe in non-interference. But it’s not “CIA shit” if they’re actually doing it to influence a society to become better rather than just pretending that that’s the goal in order to take their oil.

      Yeah, home grown actually have flavour. The shit you buy in supermarkets mostly just tastes of water because it’s been harvested too early and shipped halfway round the world. I got some really yummy orange cherry plants going at the mo, can’t remember the variety but I’ve finally learned to get blight resistant varieties.

          Yeah, I think the most classic rookie gardening mistake is thinking that plants only need water. They need nutrients just like the rest of us. By only giving plants water they basically starve to death when they have depleted their growing soil of nutrients.

        I’m not good at it by any means, but it’s a process and it gets easier. I am also not at the point where it could save me money after year 1, but Ive learned and I can see it. The most important steps for me… First step, wait for snow and buy a greenhouse when it’s super cheap, you will want bigger than you think. Greenhouses can also get too hot, figure out a plan for that. Second step, buy seeds for plants farmers actually grow in your climate not just the ones in the store. There are more varieties of individual plants than expected and ones bred for your climate will grow drastically better.

    A notable thing the article doesn’t specify is that when the pasty pap smear and the journalist discussed his constant idiotic claims that “UK is inevitably headed for civil war”, first he said it was a natural consequence of people having different points of view. Okay… she disagreed and he insisted she just didn’t know because she lived a “cloistered life”. Ah yes, obviously this trillionaire moron who has been rich all his life doesn’t lead a cloistered life. He’s a real man on the street.
