He's not, at least by anybody who's thoughts on engineering matter.

In fact, all thoughts about anything at all from someone who thinks Elon is an authority on anything at all should be considered suspect.

IIRC this is part of the flat-earth conspiracy wherein if there was a flat-earth then some of the routes operated by airlines would be impossibly long (e.g. Sydney to Santiago) so obviously the planes are actually powered by magical infinite free-energy. Therefore jet fuel is just lie perpetuated by the airlines to prevent people from learning that the earth is flat. Or something.

Flat earth is wild because at least conspiracies like big pharma holding back the real cures or the moon landinga were faked have someone who benefited from the conspiracy. No one benefits from flat earth like, at all.

Really? In the 80's it was high school physics material in canada, and although I'd forgive someone for not remembering the mechanism for how the power is generated from the doped layers of glass, I thought it seemed like most people would remember "glass and some conductive metal".

The chemical composition of a unit of HDPE is well within secondary science educational curriculum and tells you nothing about what happens when a toddler ingests BPA. Harmful stuff is very commonly the part that appears to be doing nothing or is barely present.

Ideally you don't need a complete and easily recollected secondary school education to not harm yourself but, well, the track record here in what are the boogymen and what are ignored is not encouraging.

Ah the "E" word, the last refuge of a shill scoundrel. "Evidence." How can we have evidence when the most powerful organizations on earth are destroying and obfuscating evidence, and turning attack dogs against us? We have something better and clearer than evidence, the "known truth." Known truth is a powerful tool in the war on disinformation. It's a fact that is self-evidently true, but cannot be confirmed using the tools of the truth suppressor.

For example, we know that chemtrails are real and are being sprayed as we speak. That is a fact. We don't have primary sources for that, but that doesn't change the fact that it's true. It is a known truth, with evidence being withheld.


Look, you may be new here, but /r/conspiracy is where many top minds collaborate, and routinely outsmart the most well funded, well equipped and diabolical organizations on earth. How do we do it? Top thinkers, experts on every field, unparalleled investigative skills and fearlessness. I would trust a top comment here over pretty much any news source, especially a mainstream source, any day.

Apparently sand is rarely used these days because it also murders your lungs.
