delusional and gullible I-am-very-smart Gen Xers who were proud and loud vocal atheists in the 2000s need a jesus figure in their life to keep them going after realizing their dreams aren't going to come true.

It can be attributed to millennials too. Just wanting anyone to fix the world’s problems or give them that yummy feel good feeling of the world of tomorrow being just around the corner if we just let the richest man do everything he wants.

In fairness, I bought the car back in 2018, back in the days when it wasn’t yet abundantly clear that Elon Musk is a massive tool. My son, then a teenager, tried to warn that Musk was a “douche,” but I wouldn’t listen. And now I’m stuck driving around in the best damned car I’ve ever purchased.

We've already firmly established MIB hates himself with the work he did with Meghan McCain. Which also established he's a complete dumb rear end. And as someone FTW Elon has better things to do.

He wrote a book about loving his wife at some point and was giving interviews and during those interviews because it was like semi-serious you could tell something was off about him.

it could have been an AV club interview; it was a long time ago.

in engineering a parasitic load is something that draws mechanical/electrical power from the system but doesn't produce any power directly

so in an engine, a supercharger or alternator could be considered parasitic loads. in electrical things it would be components that always draw power, like how your tv pulls a bit of power even when it's turned off or how an ev uses a bit of juice even when it's parked and not ruthlessly hunting down pedestrians

a better business term for what elon means would probably be "overhead" but that's not very epic
