Wouldn't that make the Mozart ratio 1 billion people to 1 Mozart, thus we should have 8 Mozarts right now.

You'd think they'd be easy to find, too, what with the powdered wigs and ornate clothing and all

Was just about to say this. Ten to one he just said "Mozart" as a sly winking way to avoid saying "we need to produce the next Elon Musk, like breeding the red heifer"

Pretty sure Taylor Swift counts as about 15% of our existing Mozart quota. Following the 'Dad is a studio exec, grew up in the courts of power' Mozart career plan.

You can only have a single Hitler operating at any given time, so more people means worse Hitlers rather than more Hitlers. As long as we don't hit the population threshold where we have to deal with The Mule, we should be ok.

Using the drawer as a handrest and leaving the "moisturizer" for all to see, he is a genius.

(Elon briefly stops typing at his computer. The design for an energy saving device goes on hold.
As he looks at his desk, he sees the moisturizer.
He then looks at the bottle of Detergent. 'Yaccing Brand Detergent. Get your whites, whiter than white with white power.'

Suddenly, he has an idea that will not come to fruition until 2021.)

Just finished watching this, and while it's good overall, I do think Oliver pulls his punches a bit when it comes to detailing just how insanely racist Elon's views are. In particular, I wish he'd spent more time discussing Elon's obsession with white birth rates, and I wish he'd brought up Elon's recent tweet about how "women in the West" are brainwashed into being pro-choice because they're "taught that an accidental pregnancy is the worst thing that could possibly happen to them".

It's going to make you so mad when he posts it and there are basically zero consequences.

You're talking to a guy who knows that Elon was able to make Tesla stock go up because he brought out a man in a robot costume who did a jig. Dropping the N-word will probably give him a better contract with the government.

I see it's time to flip the "days since elon musk said the stupidest thing ever" sign back to zero again. Shame, I think it had reached its high score of 1.

They can always do a second episode on Musk, and probably will.

Why the laundry detergent

When I was in scouts some of the older adult volunteers would bring an empty detergent bottle like that when they were camping, especially in the winter. To pee in. So they wouldn't have to go out in the night.

For real though for the not terminally online, Musk is the genius that is invented electric cars, cheap space travel and is the richest man ever because of his big brain

There's a lot of years of public brainwashing to clear up before the general population realize what an idiot he is. Just my opinion anyway

All the NYC parkways really. The "low overpasses" thing was a feature of all Robert Moses' aesthetically lovely little tree-lined bucolic roads into the burbs which coincidentally prevented buses from getting to the beaches or the mountain parks or anywhere outside the central city.

It's a bit more complex because ostensibly the real goal was to bar trucking traffic, but it just so happened to prohibit buses too, which, ohhh what a shame.

Yeah, his comments were so infuriating for anyone living in New York. I wanted to grab him by the collar and scream "ROBERT MOSES YOU IDIOT!"

We can’t properly feed or manage a human population of 8 billion and these guys want to bump it up more than 100-fold? A thousand Mozarts would probably go unnoticed amongst the piles of the dead and dying.

The last week tonight piece is pretty good considering they have limited time and our building from an audience of people who know about Elon generally. It’s easy to remember in this thread that we have been following this saga daily since October of last year with five+ notable items a week.

Also wouldn't 1000 Mozarts defeat the point of a Mozart? Like the whole reason Mozart is Mozart (and why someone like Shakespeare was Shakespeare) is because his work stood out from the general background noise of slop based on its quality. If you have 1000 people all producing Mozart quality material all at once that that simply becomes the baseline and while that seems good on its head, you quickly introduce the Incredibles problem where if everything is an amazing work of art, then suddenly nothing is.

That doesn't sound like a real problem. No one ever says "I can't stand it, there's just too much beauty in the world!"

Not to imply that Musk is in any way right about anything.
